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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A deed of conveyance passing a present title in fee simple carries the right of immediate possession, use, and enjoyment. In the absence of a reservation in the deed it passes title to rents thereafter accruing under an existing rental contract between the vendor and his tenant in possession. The rent is incident to the estate granted, may be recovered from the tenant without attornment; the law raises a privity between purchaser and tenant, or, as sometimes stated, the covenant to pay rent runs with the land."”
