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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true, as the court charged the jury, that questions of title are not to be litigated in actions of this nature. The question is simply one of the unlawful and forcible disturbance or withholding of possession ; and yet, as we shall see hereafter, evidences of title are often properly received in evidence, and questions of title may often be considered and have an important bearing upon the final decision. Indeed,' cases may arise under our statute where the plaintiff may rest his entire right of recovery upon mere proof of title.” (Page 126.) •”
