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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] purchaser from a co-tenant cannot be shifted from the locality specified in his deed to some other portion of the same tract of land in which his vendor had an interest as co-tenant, because in this portion of the property his deed gives him no right or estate; nor can he have any communicated by a partition which is no conveyance, but a distribution founded on an antecedent right.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Barfield v. Holland““A partition is a distribution of land between persons who are part owners, and cannot be made to operate as a conveyance of land to one of the parties to the suit who had no interest in or title to the particular portion which was given to him in the division.””
