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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our Supreme Court has held that the presumption of an intention to convey to the center of an adjoining easement applies notwithstanding the fact that grantor owned on both sides of the easement and conveyed the land on one side only by a description that called for the grant to stop at the outer edge of the easement.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It is further specifically agreed that this conveyance is in the nature of a donation, for highway purposes only, and if at any time in the future said highway shall be abandoned, or in the event the property here conveyed ceases to be used for highway purposes, it shall revert to grantors, their heirs and assigns.””
