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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It will be seen that the issue between the parties did not involve the existence of the pas sway, but merely the right of the owners of the land over which it passed to change its location. No drastic change was made, but a more convenient variation was adopted. The new road paralleled the old one, and was no great distance from it at any point. Slight deviations from the established easement are to be expected, and do not affect the rights of either parties.” (citing cases.)”
