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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The stipulation found at the end of the notes, that ‘land adversely owned, or in litigation, or in adverse possession, shall not be paid for until such adverse claims be removed of record,’ in no wise changes the construction properly to be given to the contract in respect to the payment of interest. It simply postponed the payment of principal and interest alike until the condition should happen, and did not affect the amount which should ultimately be paid.””

2. ““The rule lias its exceptions, and as in other cases where there are reasons founded on the conduct of the plaintiff, or other special circumstances existing in the case, and the justice of the situation requires it, interest will he denied.””
