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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * the public generally, including appellee and his predecessors in title, had been using the strip of ground now in controversy as a roadway for more than 50 years before the institution of this suit, and * * * such use had been open, continuous and adverse to the owners thereof. We think such testimony was sufficient to carry the general issue of dedication to the jury in this case even though there was no direct evidence of any overt act or specific declaration on the part of the ancient owners indicating an intention on their part to dedicate the strip of ground now in controversy to public use as a roadway. In our opinion such intent could properly be inferred from the circumstances in evidence.””
