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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[e]ncroachments or questions of location, boundary and area, which an accurate survey may disclose”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“recognition by neighboring owners of a fence as the tree boundary between their properties and not just as a barrier, is sufficient to establish the fence as the legal line. To prevail, the party claiming must demonstrate agreement or acquiescence ... for the period required to establish adverse possession. The acquiescence must be proved by evidence which is clear, cogent and convincing. In this case, there simply was no evidence adduced that any of [the persons opposing the person claiming to a fence line] recognized the fence as the true property line.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“notoriously evinced intent to claim the land to the disputed line.”
