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 77 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. The state is estopped by section 29 of chapter 31 of the Code from proceeding to sell, as forfeited for nonentry in the name of the former owner, land conveyed by a sheriff to a purchaser, pursuant to a sale thereof for nonpayment of taxes thereon, though the deed, because of defects in the sale proceeding, is void as to the former owner and fails to vest his title in the grantee therein. “2. By making such deed conclusive evidence against all persons except the former owner, his heirs and assigns, and those who might have redeemed the land within one year after the date of the sale, the statute works, by estoppel, a release, grant, or transfer of the title of the former owner to the grantee therein, upon the forfeiture of such title for failure of tire former owner to keep the land taxed in his name and 'the taxes paid thereon for five successive years.””
