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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘A homestead,’ says the code, which embodies the statutory provisions of the homestead laws of 1860 and 1862 upon the subject, ‘can he abandoned only by a declaration of abandonment, or a grant thereof, executed and acknowledged by the husband and wife, if the claimants are married, or by the claimant if unmarried’; and the abandonment is effectual only from the time it is recorded. (Civ. Code, §§ 1243, 1244.) Abandonment of a homestead cannot be proved in any other way. As we have said, ‘the homestead having once been regularly created out of a parcel of land, in accordance with the statute, the estate so created continues to exist until put an end to in the mode pointed out by the statute. . . . Under our law, we know of no abandonment of the homestead except in the statutory mode.’ (Porter v. Chapman, 65 Cal. 365 .)””
