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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The affidavit annexed to the agreed case is also insufficient to authorize the court to entertain the proceeding. Instead of showing that the controversy is real, its language is that the ‘statement of the case’ is a ‘real controversy’; and, instead of stating that the proceedings are in good faith, it states that the ‘contention’ is in good faith. The judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the superior court, with directions to that court to enter an order dismissing the proceeding.””
