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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is now well settled-by many adjudications, beginning with the case of Mitchell v. Dors, 6 Ves. 147, that an injunction may be granted to restrain a trespasser from entering into a mine and removing the minerals therefrom. Trespasses of that kind, as well as those which consist in cutting down and removing' timber,' or in removing buildings or other improvements of a permanent character, standing upon lands, are readily enjoined, because, as has-sometimes been said, such acts alter the character of the property, and also tend to destroy it, and to occasion irreparable loss and damage. Courthope v. Mapplesden, 10 Ves. 290; Scully v. Rose, 61 Md. 408 ; Erhardt v. Boaro, 113 U. S. 537 [ 5 Sup. Ct. 565 , 28 L. Ed. 1116 ]; Jerome v. Ross, 7 Johns. Ch. [N. Y.] 315 [ 11 Am. Dec. 484 ]; Hammond v. Winchester, 82 Ala. 470 , 2 South. 892 ; Snyder v. Hopkins, 31 Kan. 557 , 3 Pac. 367 ; Iron Co. v. ReYMert, 45 N. Y. 703 ; Beach, Inj. § 1155; High, Inj. (1st Ed.) § 469. It is also held that, even when the title to the property on which the trespass is committed is in dispute, a court of equity will at least awárd a temporary injunction against the commission of such acts as tend to permanently alter its character or destroy its value, until the title thereto is determined in an appropriate proceeding inaugurated for that purpose. Clayton v. Shoemaker, 67 Md. 216 , 9 Atl. 635 ; Smith v. Jameson, 91 Mo. 13 , 3 S. W. 212 ; Beach, Inj. § 1140, and cases there cited.””
