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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think plaintiff was estopped by her deed to maintain this suit or to deny the above recital. Estoppels are three kinds: (1) by record, (2) by deed, and (3) by matter in pais. ‘Estoppel by deed is a bar which precludes one party to a deed and his privies from asserting as against the other party and his privies any right or title in derogation of the deed or from denying the truth of any material facts asserted in it.’ 19 Am.Jur., Estoppel, sec. 6, p. 603. “ ‘ “A fact admitted by recital, or directly in a covenant or deed, concludes all the parties to it, and cannot be averred against.” Henderson v. Overton, 10 Tenn. 394 -397, 24 Am.Dec., 492.’ Battle v. Claiborne, 133 Tenn. 286, 302 , 180 S.W. 584 , 588. “ ‘ “Estoppel by warranty is based on the fundamental principles of giving effect to the manifest intention of the grantor, appearing on the deed, as to the lands or estate to be conveyed, and of preventing the grantor’s derogating from or destroying his own grant by any subsequent act.” Condit v. Bigalow, 64 N.J.Eq. 504 (513), 54 A. 160 .’ Battle v. Claiborne, supra, 133 Tenn. 303 , 180 S.W. 588 .””
