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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellants contend that the old fence line marked the true south boundary of the appellee's land, but if not, then the appellants have acquired title to the land in dispute by adverse possession. Much evidence was introduced by both sides directed to these contentions, and it can serve no good purpose to relate the same in detail. It is sufficient to say that the evidence was conflicting and presented factual issues for the determination of the chancellor. The chancellor on ample evidence resolved these issues in favor of the appellee, and we are unable to say that he was manifestly wrong. We are, therefore, not warranted in disturbing his decision on these issues.”
