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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A violation of the provisions of this section by any register of deeds shall be deemed a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, he shall be fined not to exceed one hundred dollars, and he shall further be liable to the grantee of any instrument so recorded for the amount of damages sustained, to be recovered in an action for debt in any court of this State.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We do not think that the provisions of the section constitute an unwarrantable infringement of property rights. Mere inconvenience, however great, is not sufficient to defeat a law. That is a consideration for the legislature, and not for the court. The State may enact stringent measures to enforce the collection of the public revenue.””
