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.
““We think that here a deficiency of more than 100 acres of land is so material as to entitle appellee to relief. In such case it is well settled by the authorities in this state that when the sale of the land is by the acre and because of the mutual mistake of the parties as to the quantity of land conveyed, if there is a material deficiency in acreage, equity will afford relief even though the quantity of land conveyed is qualified by the use of the phrase ‘more or less.’ Franco-Texan Land Co. v. Simpson, 1 Tex.Civ.App. 600 , 20 S.W. 953 ; Hart v. Daggett, Tex.Civ.App., 6 S.W.2d 143, 145 ; Evans v. Renfro, Tex.Civ.App., 170 S.W.2d 636 , Er.Ref.W.M. See also annotations in 70 A.L.R., p. 368.””
