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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When lesion is alleged to invalidate a partition or sale, the party alleging it must first prove the value of the property sold, in the state in which it was at the time of the contract, according to the usual terms of credit given on sales or property of that description. He must then show how much the price given was less than such value; the court shall determine whether according to law applied to the circumstances of the case, there is a lesion sufficient to invalidate the contract.” (Emphasis added.)”
