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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In all cases of the partition or sale of property for division of proceeds, the court may allow a reasonable solicitor’s fee to the solicitor or the complainant, to be taxed as a common charge on all the interests, and to be paid out of the proceeds in case of a sale, and to be a lien on the several parts in case of partition.” (emphasis added)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Parnell v. Smith · White v. Brown“[1] that a sale of the lands, or any part thereof, will better promote the interest of all parties than a partition in kind, or [2] if the court be satisfied that an equal division cannot be made.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““This statute was intended primarily to give a fee to the solicitor who conducts the suit without resistance. Where there is a real controversy, and it is proper for defendants to be represented by counsel of their own choosing, the fee permitted by section 975, to be taxed as a common charge upon all of the interests, should not be allowed.” (emphasis added)”
