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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ The very nature and character of the lease or agreement shows that it was a personal one to the defendant, and could not he assigned by him to a third party without the consent of his lessor. The rent or share which the-latter would receive must depend very much upon the-character of the lessee, and the latter could not place a-. party in possession of the premises who might not he a .good husbandman, and who might not be able to carry on the farm operations in a good, careful and proper manner. Under such a lease the landlord has a right to choose his tenant, and he may be willing to lease upon shares to one man, and yet be wholly unwilling to let another have possession upon any terms.””
