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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Thus by a series of decisions, it is established that the rights of a husband in an estate by the entirety are the same as they existed at common law.” At common law the husband during coverture and as between himself and wife, had the absolute and exclusive right to the control, use, possession, rents, issues and profits of property held as tenants by the entirety. The common law rule is followed in Massachusetts.”
