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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Any person whose land has no outlet to, nor connection with a public road, may apply in writing to the board of county commissioners of his county for a private road * * *.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bush v. Duff · Mayland v. Flitner“There is presently a road connecting the Dana land with U.S. Highway 89 but they have mo enforceable right to its use; so that road, therefore, canmot be considered an outlet. There is no "convenient" way across the grantors' land because of swamps and a camal. The distance to the Muddy String Road of one and one half miles, as compared to a distance of only one-quarter of a mile to U.S. Highway 89 is a further measure of convenience.”
