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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the courts of this state have jurisdiction in such a case, it is not perceived what effectual remedy could be administered. There has been an adjudication of the. land office department against the claim of the plaintiff; and the defendant has settled on the land as a homestead claimant, and obtained the first certificate as such. That certificate gives the defendant no right to the land, and he must thereafter perform all of the conditions of the homestead law before he will be entitled to a certificate upon which the patent can be issued.””
