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 thing in dispute in forcible detainer, and forcible entry and detainer, is not the title to the real estate but the mere right to its possession.' In such class of actions the title to the real estate is often involved, but it is involved as an incident only and not as the main subject of controversy.”. (See, also, Conaway v. Gore, 27 Kan. 122 .)”
