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.

““Under our code, however, the fact that the property is held adversely to the plaintiff will not defeat an action of partition when brought in connection with or as part of another action for the recovery of real property. Under our rules of pleading the two causes of action may be united in one action, or they may, when so pleaded, and no objection is made, be tried as' a single cause of action.” (See, also, Scarborough v. Smith, 18 Kan. 399 ; Kennedy v. Haskell, 67 id. 612, 73 Pac. 913 .)”
