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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The estate of a tenant at will may likewise be determined by an entry upon the premises by the owner for that purpose. And any act of ownership exercised by the landlord which is inconsistent with the nature of an estate at will, such as exercising rights of ownership which would be wrongful in view of a continuance of the tenancy, or any act done on the land for which the landlord would otherwise be liable to an action of trespass by the tenant will terminate the tenancy.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Welsh v. Faivre““In the case at bar the landlord took possession of the premises, and peaceably, as heretofore said. That clearly indicated an intent on his part to determine the tenancy that existed in the case at bar, * * * .””
