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.
“In a long line of cases we have held when a co-tenant executes a deed to a stranger to the title, describing the entire land, and such grantee enters into exclusive possession under such deed, then such deed constitutes color of title, and such entry commences the running of limitation in favor of the grantee and against all the other co-tenants of the grantor. Parsons v. Sharpe, 102 Ark. 611 , 145 S.W. 537 ; Jackson v. Cole, 146 Ark. 565 , 226 S.W. 513 ; Landman v. Fincher, 196 Ark. 609 , 119 S.W.2d 521 ; Ulrich v. Coleman, 218 Ark. 236 , 235 S.W.2d 868 .”
