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 88 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]it is well settled that purchasers and mortgagees of real estate are affected not only by matters of which they had actual knowledge and by what appeared in the office of the recorder of deeds and in the various courts of record whose territorial jurisdiction embraced the land in dispute, but as well “by what they could have learned by inquiry of the person in possession and of others who, they had reason to believe, knew of facts which might affect the title:” Salvation Army Inc. Tr. v. Lawson, 293 Pa. 459, 463 [ 143 A. 113 (1928)]. See also Kinch v. Fluke, 311 Pa. 405, 408 [ 166 A. 905 (1933)]; Driebe v. Fort Penn Realty Co., [ 331 Pa. 314 ,] ... 318 [ 200 A. 62 (1938)]; Koubek v. Tenos, 343 Pa. 409, 412 [ 22 A.2d 740 (1941) ].”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Neither husband nor wife by virtue of the relationship has power to act as agent for the other. The relationship is of such a nature, however, that circumstances which in the case of strangers would not indicate the creation of authority or apparent authority may indicate it in the case of husband and wife. Thus, a husband habitually permitted by his wife to attend to some of her business matters may be found to have authority to transact all her business affairs."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“`"[t]he relationship of agency cannot be inferred from mere relationship or family ties unattended by conditions, acts, or conduct clearly implying an agency" * * *; but such [marital] relation is competent evidence when considered with other circumstances as tending to establish the facts of agency and where there has been other competent evidence tending to the same end.'”
