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.
““The exceptions are vague, general, and insufficient under the rules of practice, and are insufficient to support the errors assigned thereon. Exceptions to a master's report must point out specifically the errors upon which the party relics. The object of such definiteness is to give the master an opportunity to see wherein his report is subject to objection, and to apprise the opposite party of just what he has to meet.””
