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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The conveyance to Hendryx and wife was a mortgage; this fact is so fully established that we will not discuss it further. “Plaintiff’s title under her deed was perfect except for this mortgage. If the mortgage when paid had been discharged by proper writing of record, plaintiff’s title would have been free ... (41 C.J. 315 . . .) A reconveyance by Hendryx and wife was not necessary to reinvest absolute title, but it was needed to clear record title. (41 C.J. 363.) “Equitably the reconveyance by Hendryx and wife is a discharge of mortgage. ’’”
