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.

1. ““The appellant used and dealt with the land as though it then intended fully to accept and accede to the terms of the decree, and it will not be permitted to change the position which it voluntarily assumed. Kellogg v. Smith, 70 Or. 449, 456 ( 142 Pac. 330 ), furnishes a conclusive precedent. See, also, Thomas v. Booth- Kelly Co., 52 Or. 534 ( 97 Pac. 1078 , 132 Am. St. Rep. 713 ); Elwert v. Marley, 53 Or. 591 ( 99 Pac. 887 , 101 Pac. 671 , 133 Am. St. Rep. 850 ); 3 C. J. 665, 669. “The appeal is dismissed.””
