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 motions under consideration are governed by the rules of court in force in this district since 1886. Rule 20 is: ‘Upon the affidavit on the part of a plaintiff or defendant, showing good cause, a judge may remove a cause from one place of holding court to another.’ Hence the question where a cause shall be heard is one addressed to the discretion of the judge.””
