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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We take the rule, therefore, to be abundantly established that a husband can convey an estate held by himself and wife as tenants by the entirety, and that such conveyance will vest the fee in the purchaser, if the husband survive the wife. And, as our statute has given the wife power and authority to sell and convey her property `to the same extent and in the same manner that her husband can property belonging to him' (Laws 1893, p. 170, amending § 2992, Hill's Ann. Laws), we think it clear she may convey *Page 81 an estate by the entirety with like effect as her husband.”
