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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “‘ ‘ Furthermore, our statute does not require possession to be taken of land by the purchaser at a tax sale as an essential condition to the running of the statute of limitations. The tax deed draws to it constructive possession of unoccupied land, and it may be, though such a case is not before us, that where to maintain the action a plaintiff must have actual or constructive possession, or where some other statute of limitations requires possession to be taken, the absence of the one or the divestiture of the other may injuriously affect the tax purchaser’s rights when he attempts to enforce them in an action. But such conditions and such state of facts are not here present. ’ ’”
