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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This testimony also seems to be so directly connected with a transaction between plaintiff and deceased as to be improper. Its only purpose was to show that in a transaction to which some one else had testified, such testimony being ambiguous as to what money was referred to, she had only the specific $250. It is certainly an attempt to prove by this witness that the $250 was the subject of the conversation between her and her husband overheard by the child; and the answer to the second question, if relevant at all, tended to justify an inference of its delivery to him at that time and a denial that he ever returned it to her. The objections to her competency to answer these questions should have been sustained.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Either this testimony was wholly irrelevant and immaterial, or it tended very directly to establish a transaction between plaintiff and her husband. She had testified to the production of the note to both of them, and that without separation they both left the house together, and that never after that time did she have that note. It could have been offered for no purpose save as tending to establish that the note was delivered to her husband at that time, and that he never delivered it back to her, to neither of which, facts was she a competent witness. We consider that this testimony transgressed the limitation, and that error was committed in its admission.””
