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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plaintiff’s first two points on this appeal assert the official plats of public surveys filed in the United States Land Office are the necessary and sole guides for the determination of the location and area of any tract of land surveyed under the system of public surveys; that the abbreviations ‘T.’ and .‘Twp.’, ‘R.’ and ‘Rge.’ must be taken to mean, respectively ‘Township’ and 'Range’; and that since all townships are north and all ranges east in Santa Fe County, the court may by judicial notice complete the descriptions in the assessment rolls and tax deeds to read ‘Township 16 North, Range 9 East, N.M.P.M.’ “The defendant concedes the general recognition of these principles.” (Emphasis ours.)”
