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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“■ “A lease of land is the conveyance of an estate in realty for it divests the owner for a given time of his right of possession and control. Mattingly’s Ex’r v. Brents, 155 Ky. 570 , 159 S.W. 1157 . And as aptly said in Tiffany, Real Property, Sec. 80: ‘As stated before, the reference to a lease as an “Agreement” or a “Contract” has the effect of obscuring the important fact that it is a conveyance, transferring an estate to the lessee, a fact which is clearly recognized by the first class of statutory provisions above referred to.’ ””
