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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the deed may have been void for want of an order of sale or an order of proper confirmation, it is not now our purpose to determine. The facts and pleadings show an apparent title in the executor. The facts and pleadings show that appellant paid $2,700 for it. It is admitted he acted in good faith in paying the sum, and the court finds that the proceeds so received were applied on indebtedness due on farm lands belonging to the appellees, which they took under the will of their father. The pleadings of the appellant amounted to a plea to be subrogated to the amount so paid before the appellees could recover, and to require them to pay the sum before they recovered the lot. It seems to be the rule in such cases that the heirs could not recover the land without paying or tendering back the money so paid and used for the benefit of the estate.”
