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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under our constitution and the authorities above cited, we hold the rule in this state to be that the deed of the appellant Abrams entirely divested him of any title to the real estate; that he is in no position to question its validity; that his alien grantee took what was known at common law as a defeasible estate, void as against the state only, and which might escheat to the state upon office found.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Keene v. Zindorf“‘ ‘ Thus an alien may purchase lands or take them by devise and hold them against all the world but the state. Nor can he be divested of his estate even by the state, until after a formal proceeding called ‘office found’; and until that is done, may sell and convey or devise the lands, and pass a good title to the same. ’ ’”
