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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have no satisfactory basis for a final judgment upon the nature and extent of the interests of the parties. We reverse the judgment and remand the cause, with directions to the circuit court to enter a judgment in favor of plaintiff, vesting in him the title to whatever interest Carrie E. Thurber had in the lands acquired under the sheriff’s deed, and also vesting in him the title to the interest of Katie A. Vigar, if the evidence shows that in the order of publication her true name is correctly written as Katie A.- Vigar; such judgment to ascertain and declare the nature and extent of the title so acquired by plaintiff. We further direct the circuit court by its judgment to ascertain and declare, upon proper proof, whether the defendant has acquired any interest in said lands, and if so, the extent and nature thereof.””
