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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plaintiff’s testimony tended to show that at the time of the trial there was an outstanding title to the land involved in one R. W. Radford, a third party, who was not a party to the suit, and the record is entirely barren of testimony tending to connect the mortgagors with such title.””
