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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While a motion to separately state and number is addressed largely to the discretion of the court and is, ordinarily, not reviewable, it is manifest that but one cause of action was stated. Before a court of equity can mold the proper decree in a case of this kind there must be an accounting, which is only an incident to the real cause of action.” (p. 125.)”
