These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The heirs In possession were not liable for use and occupation, or to account for rents and profits, until Seymour was entitled to Ills deed. And had the latter been and remained in possession after the rendition of the judgment, he would have been hound to account for rents and profits until the time for redemption had expired, precisely as though he had been in possession as mortgagee, and there had been no judgment rendered.””
