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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute provides that in case of the death or disability of the stenographer before transcribing his notes, the trial judge may approve and sign a statement to take the place of a transcript (Gen. Stat. 1915, ¶ 7486). While the provision does not expressly cover the loss or destruction of the notes, the practice in such cases has been to make use of the best substitute that can be obtained, with the authentication of the trial judge. Inasmuch as a transcript made by the stenographer is subject to amendment and correction by the judge (Gen. Stat. 1915, 117478), it is the judicial approval that gives it its final authority, and in case of need a statement approved by the judge would serve as a sufficient substitute, in the absence of a specific statute covering the matter.” (p. 108.)”
