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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This instrument purports to transfer all oil, gas, and mineral rights in and under a certain body of land containing about 1,300 acres, describing its location. Therefore it is not subject to objection that proof of a parol agreement is necessary to show the subject-matter of the transaction and effect a transfer and void as being contrary to the statute of frauds.””
