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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the mortgagors had undertaken to convey the future crops they might make, without possessing any land upon which to make them, and especially without the contemplation of the immediate acquisition of some, then, certainly, their conveyance would be without operation. In this case they had the land, and the crops conveyed were to be grown upon it during their possessory interest. Tlie crops were an accretion or addition to the land which might very reasonably be expected to be made. They were therefore proper subjects of mortgage."”
