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.
“continued possession of the transferred property alone will not ripen into a claim of adverse possession, the rule being that following delivery of the deed a grantor continuing in possession must by words, acts or conduct notify the grantee that he is claiming title and possession against the covenants of the grantor’s deed, the presumption being that he holds possession in subservience to the covenants. “It is not a mere occupancy or possession which must be known to the true owner to establish title by adverse possession, but one which is in opposition to his rights and in defiance of, or inconsistent with, his title.””
