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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule was early recognized that where the encroachment is slight, the cost of removal will be great and the corresponding benefit to the adjoining owner small, or compensation in damages can be had, a court will ordinarily decline to compel removal, and will leave the complaining party to his remedy at law. See 1 Corpus Juris, 1209, 2 C.J.S., Adjoining Landowners, § 36. Also see 32 Corpus Juris, 77-78, 43 C.J. S., Injunctions, § 30, where it is said that when the issuance of an injunction will cause great injury to defendant and will confer very little benefit upon complainant in comparison it is proper to refuse an injunction, especially where the right is doubtful or where money damages will compensate plaintiff.””
