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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The direction of the wife to have the deed thus made to the husband as well as to herself does not change the situation. The statute relating to married women would require such a direction to be in writing at least. But the better reason is that the deed conveys no title, and her direction to put his name therein does not change the character of deeds made in furtherance of voluntary partition. That her direction does not change the character of the deed has been expressly held in this state.”
