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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This deed was objected to and excluded on the ground that the said Eliza E. Shifflett and Dora E. Evans were then married women, and incapable of making a deed without their husbands - joining them. The trial court committed error in excluding this deed, because these ladies, if they had attained the age of eighteen, were competent to transfer by their deed whatever interest they -owned in the land, without their husbands joining them.””
