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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Besides, the transaction in the present case was a partnership transaction, and in such cases real property may usually he considered in nearly the same manner as personal property, and the real intention of the parties with reference thereto, their contract, promises or mutual understandings will govern, without reference to whether they have been reduced to-writing, or not. ... In such cases the statute of frauds and kindred statutes have no application.” (p. 363.)”
