Woodruff v. Parham, 8 Wall. 123 (1869). There were later some departures from the rule, apparently due to inattention, in cases involving oil. See Standard Oil v. Graves, 249 U.S. 389 (1919); Askren v. Continental Oil Co., 252 U.S. 444 (1920); Bowman v. Continental Oil Co., 256 U.S. 642 (1921) and Texas Co. v. Brown, 258 U.S. 466 (1922). These cases were "qualified," and in fact disavowed in Sonneborn Bros. v. Cureton, 262 U.S. 506, 520 (1923). Cf. the contemporary case of Wagner v. Covington, 251 U.S. 95 (1912) where the true rule is followed.
