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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The writer of this opinion, pursuant to the spirit of the Employer's Liability Act, was inclined to believe that the Act might be considered as a separate and independent legislation, not to be interpreted by the Civil Code, and that the words `acknowledged illegitimate children' might be construed simply as `recognized' or established children entitled to alimony, C.C. 920 (914); Bennett v. Cane, 18 La.Ann. 590 ; or in default of such construction that the `adulterous child' might be treated as a `dependent'. But the decision in the Perkins case, 147 La. 337 [ 84 So. 894 ], does not permit him to entertain the possibility of such a construction.”
