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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is no similarity between this case and the cases of Gordon v. Munn, 83 Kan. 242 , 111 Pac. 177 , and Atkinson v. Crowe, 80 Kan. 161 , 102 Pac. 50 , 106 Pac. 1052 , relied on by the plaintiffs. In each of those cases the contest was between rival claimants to ownership, and the real issue was whether the title of the one party or the title of the other was such as to require an award of the property to its proponent. The court held that the form in which this issue was cast should not control the method of trial, but that the essential nature of the controversy should determine whether or not a jury trial ought to be granted.” (p. 815.)”
