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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think, however, that this motion should be denied upon the ground that the right to insist upon the waiver of appeal had in turn been waived by counsel for the appellees, for the reason that counsel did not assert his intention to rely upon the statutory waiver when informed by counsel for appellant that he intended to make the return at once, and that he should not be inconvenienced by the delay, when counsel for the appellees told him that the return had not been made within the time prescribed by statute.””
