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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The issue stated by the pleadings, and to which the evidence in this case was directed, required the jury in their verdict to find upon the following questions, viz.: The right to possession of the property in dispute at the commencement of the action, the value thereof, and the amount of damages suffered through its wrongful detention. These questions they answered, determining such right of possession in favor of plaintiff, assessing his damages at one cent, and fixing the value of the property at $176.”
