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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That it is taxable because it is enforcible against the land; that the equitable title passed to the purchaser subject to being forfeited for default in the payments, the legal title remaining in the vendor as security for the debt; that the transaction between the parties was the same as though a mortgage had been given by the purchaser with the provision that in the event of foreclosure no personal judgment should be rendered against him and that the vendor should in that event look to the land alone for payment.””
