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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is also claimed that said petition does not state -facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, because it does not state that the defendants did not obtain the Tight to flood the plaintiff’s land by virtue of proceedings under the mill-dam act. (Gen. Stat. 576, ch. 66.) It is not necessary that any such statement should be inserted in the petition. If it is true that the defendants have obtained any such right by virtue of proceedings under the mill-dam act, it is for them to plead it and prove it.” (Page 588.)”
