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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A clear title means that the land is free from [e]ncumbrances. Roberts v. Bassett, 105 Mass. 409 . A good title is one free from litigation, palpable defects and grave doubts, comprising both legal and equitable titles, and fairly deducible of record. Turner v. McDonald, 76 Cal. 177 , 9 Am. St. Rep. 189 , 18 Pac. 262 ; Reynolds v. Borel, 86 Cal. 538 , 25 Pac. 67 . A clear title means a good title ( Oakey v. Cook, 41 N.J.Eq. 350, 7 Atl. 495 ), and a good title means a marketable or merchantable title ( Irving v. Campbell, 121 N.Y. 353 , 8 L.R.A. 620 , 24 N.E. 821 ). A contract to convey in fee simple, clear of all [e]ncumbrances, implies a marketable title ( Bell v. Stadler, 31 Idaho, 568 , 174 Pac. 129 ), and a marketable title is one of such character as assures to the purchaser the quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the property and one which is free from [e]ncumbrances ( Barnard v. Brown, 112 Mich. 452 , 67 Am. St. Rep. 432 , 70 N.W. 1038 ).”
