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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But this whole bundle of reports, * * * is so palpably vague and uncertain in relation to the ownership of the actual land in dispute, that we cannot see how faith and credit could be reasonably predicated on the information. Therefore we are inclined to the belief that the commercial reports should be rejected as a basis for credit, because of uncertainty and vagueness. With that holding, the mainstay of plaintiff’s ease is taken away.””
