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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this regard, the county treasurer can, in his discretion, choose to distrain and take possession of the property in any one of several methods. He may take physical possession of it, he may appoint a keeper to watch over it, or he may take possession by simply posting a notice that he has distrained the property for the purposes of sale. Each of such methods is a distraint and taking possession of the property. In this case, the distraint notice, quoted above, stated that the treasurer was taking possession by simply posting the notice. (Italics in original.)”
