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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When one by parol agrees to procure a lease for himself and others and does procure the lease in his own name, he is a trustee for those for whom he agreed to act, and the statutes referred to have no application.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is well settled that if one agrees, by parol, to buy land for another, and he does buy the land and pay for it with the money of his principal, but takes the deed in this own name, equity will enforce the agreement, hold him to be a trustee, and compel him to make title to the principal; for the statute which requires all contracts `to sell or convey land' to be in writing has no application.”
