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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ Suppose, for instance, personal property is adversely held in a state for a period beyond that prescribed by the laws of that state, and, after that period has elapsed, the possessor should remove into another state, which has a longer period of prescription, or is without any prescription, could the original owner assert a title there against the possessor, whose title, by the local law and the lapse of time, had become final and conclusive before the removal.””
