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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * the plaintiff does not aver that all the defendants claim title to the realty jointly, or under one common source of title. He brings the various named defendants into the suit for the purpose of determining and adjudicating each and every claim or interest they may set up adverse to his own, no matter how diverse or opposed to each other. And where an action is brought by one plaintiff against several defendants, not because they claim any joint interest or are subject to any joint liability in respect to the subject-matter of the action, but merely for convenience, it will generally be capable of resolution into separable controversies between the plaintiff and the individual defendants. * * * ””
