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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial court may have distrusted the veracity of the witnesses from something in their manner or from a suspicion growing out of the way in which the transaction had been conducted on the part of the defendants. At any rate, as the court was not persuaded by the evidence of the party on whom the burden of proof upon this issue rested, there was no occasion for requiring any rebuttal.””
