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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As we construe the agreement, [vendors] were bound not only to convey to [vendees], by warranty deed, a good title free from encumbrances, but they were required to show by October 15, 1912, that they owned such title, and by March 1, 1913 *** they were to furnish [vendees] an abstract showing merchantable title in them. *** [Vendors’] agreement required them to convey to [vendees] a good and merchantable title, and it seems clear to us the intention of the parties was, from the language used, that the abstract should show they owned and were able to convey the kind of a title they had agreed to convey to [vendees].” Geithman, 265 Ill. at 583-84 .”
