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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... we have no authority to grant appellant any relief if there be substantial credible evidence in the record undergirding the determinative findings of fact made by the Chancery Court.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“It requires little familiarity with the institutional structure of our judicial system to know that this Court does not sit to redetermine questions of fact.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“[B]oth the quality and quantity of possessory acts necessary to establish a claim of adverse possession may vary with the characteristics of the land. Adverse possession of "wild" or unimproved lands may be established by evidence of acts that would be wholly insufficient in the case of improved or developed lands. The question in the end is whether the possessory acts relied upon by the would be adverse possessor are sufficient to fly his flag over the lands and to put the record title holder upon notice that the lands are held under an adverse claim of ownership.”
