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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The dismissal of the bill as to M. F. Fitzwater is made the subject of a cross-assignment of error by counsel for the appellees, it being insisted that the two objects disclosed by the bill, cancellation of the tax deed, and barring the dower right, were not inconsistent. They are undoubtedly wholly foreign to each other. The tax deed stood in the way of the claim of the widow as well as that of the heirs. Against it, they made common cause, for, in order to obtain any title or interest in the land, they must get rid of it. This made an issue between the widow and heirs, on one side, against Fox, on the other, involving pleadings and evidence which had no relation whatever to the claim of dower. The issue between the widow and heirs respecting the dower is wholly different, and with that Fox has nothing to do. When the matter demanded against one is separate, distinct and uncon nected with, the matter demanded against another, and neither is interested in the defense to he made by the other, the bill asserting such different demands is multifarious. Stuart v. Coulter, 4 Rand. 74 .””
