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.
““Defendant having claimed a title in fee, plaintiff was justified in assuming that to be his (the defendant’s) only right, and was not required to inquire whether he might not have some other interest in the land. The notice of the specific claim was operative only as to the particular claim made, and not as to some right or interest inconsistent with such claim.””
