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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been held adversely to the landlord,—that is, the interest of the tenant or lessee in fee, as sneh, has been so claimed and held,—and that makes as perfect a title by adverse possession as if the Van Derzees had claimed the whole title and the entire interest. It has been held as a lease or rent farm, and from the moment that the lease was made, or rent paid and received, the title of the tenant to the farm, as tenant, to the extent of the qualified ownership resulting from the relation of landlord and tenant, was as perfect and as adverse to the landlord’s title or claim to the tenant’s interest as is the title of the grantee in a deed perfect against, and hostile to, the title of the grantor, from the moment the deed is executed.””
