These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It has been held that a demise of premises by street numbers of residences which form the main or principal feature of the lease, included and carried stables situated on the rear end of the lots on which the residence stood. Armstrong v. Crilly, 51 Ill. App. 504 ; same case, 152 Ill. 646 ( 38 N. E. 936 ). “But we do not regard such a rule as applicable to a corner lot in the business portion of a large city, occupying a considerable frontage on two streets and occupied by both business and dwelling houses separate and distinct from each other, and fronting and opening upon different streets. In such a case the rule stated in Patterson v. Graham, 140 Ill. 531 ( 30 N. E. 460 ), is better adapted, that all that can be claimed is ‘that by construction the lease carried so much of the lot on which said building stood as was necessary to the complete enjoyment of the building for the purpose for which it was rented,’ and nothing more.””
