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.
““But an assignee of the lessee for the whole term is liable for the rent reserved in the original lease, or for any waste he may commit. The covenants to pay rent and keep the premises in repair, etc., run with the land, and it is well settled that an assignee, at common law, is liable upon any of the covenants of the lease, that run with the land.””
