Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When land is sold to pay county or State taxes, or both, ... and the owner of the land at the time of the tax sale, the owner’s heirs, ... have held the land sold in adverse possession for 7 years after the final ratification of the tax sale and before action or suit is brought, and prosecuted by the purchaser at the tax sale, ... to obtain possession, ... the [adverse] possession is a bar to all right, title, claim, interest, estate, demand, right of entry, and right of action of the purchaser ... derived from the tax sale as to the land held in possession.” [Emphasis added.]”
