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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In all these cases the article is applied to the building in such a way as to show an intent to annex it permanently to the freehold ; the annexation, whether by means of nails, or screws, or hinges, or mere weight, being still a physical annexation. ' The precise manner in which the article is kept in place is not important, except as it may often throw some light upon the question, in a doubtful case, whether a permanent annexation was intended. “In the present case, the intent to make the annexation permanent is very clearly shown by the preparation of the house for the reception of the furnaces.””
