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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The authorities agree that if the statement of quantity in a conveyance be matter of description only, the vendor, in the absence of fraud, is not bound to make good the deficiency, and the vendee is not required to surrender any excess. It is also the rule that when the quantity of land is mentioned in a deed as part of the description, it will be rejected, if it be inconsistent with the actual area of the premises as ascertained by known monuments or other certain description, when the tract is definitely described and limited.””
