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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If it be a fact that the land in question was, at the time of its conveyance, the homestead of the grantors, and that its value and area were within statutory limits when aliened to the son, such facts are not disclosed, nor were they required to be negatived by the bill. If the land was such homestead when conveyed, it is secure to the grantee from this attack; or, if it is the homestead in possession of the owner and exempt from levy and sale, as against complainant’s claim or judgment, such fact is available by way of answer and proof, or due claim of exemption before sale under execution. (Citations Omitted)” ( 230 Ala. at page 534 , 162 So. at page 292 .)”
