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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under our statute any one or more of several joint tenants, tenants in common or co-parceners may compel partition by suit in equity. The joint tenants, tenants in common and co-parceners contemplated by the Statute are those who are in some way the owners of a beneficial estate in the land, or whose status and duties are of such a nature as require the exercise of the right to compel partition by judicial proceedings.””
