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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In our view of the case, the amended declaration stated a new cause of action. It is not an amendment of a cause of action defectively stated. The essential difference in the two declarations is the statement of a fact in the amended declaration which did not exist at the time the original was filed and therefore cannot be considered as an amendement thereto. We cannot agree that it relates to the original declaration, hut think it essentially independent thereof. We reach this conclusion upon the authority of United States ex rel. Texas Portland Cement Co. v. McCord, 233 U.S. 157, 164 , 34 S.Ct. 550 , 58 L.Ed. 893 ; American Bonding & Trust Co. v. Gibson County, 6 Cir., 145 F. 871, 874 , 7 Ann.Cas. 522; and, Eveland v. Detroit Machine Tool Co., D.C., 18 F.2d 968, 969 .””
