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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“as we view it, the reference to the prior [executors] deed was not for the purpose of giving an identification or description of the property conveyed. The identification of the property [was expressly made in the quitclaim deed and] was [also] found in a recorded plat, which was referred to in [and incorporated into] the [quitclaim] deed. As we interpret the [quitclaim] deed, the reference to the prior [executors] deed was [merely] for the purpose of showing from what source [Marion Mercer's] title to the land [being conveyed] was derived. It appears to be the general rule that when a reference to another deed is made merely for the purpose of showing from what source title was derived, it will not operate to restrict the description relied upon in the deed from which reference is made.”
