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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In other words, title was in the plaintiff until it rejected the crop for either of the reasons mentioned, and then, and not until then, should title vest in the defendant. . . . Again, counsel urge that the provision that plaintiff should pay for the crop in any event is at war with the notion that plaintiff was the owner. The fallacy of this argument lies in the assumption that plaintiff was to pay for the crop. The contract does not so.provide. The only reference to compensation in the contract is found in the provision for compensation for the services rendered by the defendant, the amount thereof to be computed upon the amount of the crop produced.” (p. 342.)”
