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 register, in the statement of the account in this case,, gives results, without processes by which they were ascertained. This is an improper manner of stating such an account, and one so rendered ought to be rejected by the court ex mero motu, or on an objection made to it by either party. Such accounts should be so fully stated, under rules 90 and 90a, accompanied, if necessary for a proper understanding of the account, by such explanations in the report of the register as that the chancellor, in case exceptions are taken to them, may be enabled readily to understand and pass on them, and so, in case of appeal to this court, we may be enabled to do the same thing. Otherwise, we must be involved in confusion ánd very unnecessary labor, which we may, if these rules are not observed, decline to undertake.””
