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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule laid down in Hayner et al. v. Smith and wife, 63 Ill. 430 , and followed in Lynch v. Baldwin, 69 Ill. 210 , and Walker et al. v. Tucker, 70 Id. 527, is, that acts by the landlord, in interference with the tenant’s possession, to constitute an eviction, must clearly indicate an intention on the part of the landlord that the tenant shall no longer continue to hold the premises.” See also, Chicago Legal News Co. v. Browne, 103 Ill. 317 -321.”
