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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That statute (Chapter 238 S.L. 1939) has no connection with or effect upon the vesting of title in the county. It confers an additional right (erroneously designated as a right of redemption) upon the former owner, making him a preferred purchaser without profit to the county. It is a special statute giving him a second chance as a special act of grace.” See also Horab v. Williams County, 73 N.D. 754, 759 , 19 N.W.2d 649 ; Stutsman v. Smith, 73 N.D. 664, 675 , 18 N.W.2d 679 ; Coverston v. Grand Forks County, 74 N.D. 552 , 23 N.W.2d 746 ; Blackford v. Judith Basin County, 109 Mont. 578 , 98 P.2d 872 , 126 A.L.R. 639 ; Yates v. Hawkins, 46 N.M. 249 , 126 P.2d 476 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““The statute clearly requires that a tax deed to individuals must be executed in the name of the state. In the following cases it has been held that a tax deed executed in the name of the county by the county auditor instead of in the name of the state is void; Goss v. Herman, 20 N.D. 295 , 127 N.W. 78 ; State Finance Co. v. Mulberger, 16 N.D. 214 , 112 N.W. 986 ; 125 Am.St.Rep. 650 ; State Finance Co. v. Beck, 15 N.D. 374 , 109 N.W. 357 ; Beggs v. Paine, 15 N.D. 436 , 109 N.W. 322 . The conclusion is inescapable that where the statute requires the county auditor to issue a tax deed to the county in the same manner as to individual purchasers such a deed executed by the county auditor as an official of the county and not in the name of the state is void.” Buman v. Sturn, 73 N.D. 561, 568 , 16 N.W.2d 837 , 840 and cases cited.”
