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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the landlord seeks to recover the possession he can do so under the lease; but if he goes farther and claims the premises in fee, the tenant is not estopped from denying any right claimed by the plaintiff farther or greater than that of possession. This fully protects the landlord, who regains his possession, and the tenant having gained no advantage by taking a lease, the parties then are in proper position to litigate the title should they desire so to do. If the plaintiff’s position is correct, a judgment in fee may be obtained by estoppel against the tenant, and thus the landlord has acquired an advantage which he would not be entitled to.””
