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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I agree with the Municipal Court that Cargo Services, by virtue of the March 1, 1968 lease agreement had a valid subsisting lease of the warehouse . . . and that the action of Merwin Co. amounted to forcible entry and detainer. .. . . . . The possession of the plaintiffs, since it was gained forcibly, was unlawful, and the defendant, Cargo Services, was entitled to maintain its counterclaim to recover possession, 28 V.I.C. § 782, and for damages for the trespass involved. 22 Am.Jur. Forcible Entry & Detainer § 11. (Emphasis added.)”
