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.
““It is said that the survey disturbs a boundary agreed upon by the respective owners of the west halves of sections 25 and 86, and the east halves of sections 26 and 85, upon which fences have been built marking the limits of ownership and possession. The survey merely established the true line. It does not affect the location of an independent agreed boundary, or ownership or possession depending upon a boundary agreement lawfully made.” (Terrell v. Chessmore, 94 Kan. 611, 614 , 146 Pac. 1152 .)”
