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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Notwithstanding the fact that the deed to Bailey purports to have been made by virtue of the first power of attorney, and is silent as to any other power, we think that if A. H. Livermore, who, as attorney in fact for James S. Steele, executed that deed, was in reality, by virtue of the second power of attorney, empowered to do so, the deed would be valid.””
