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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule is well settled that a new statute covering the same ground as the former act supersedes it for all further cases, without the necessity of repealing words. People v. Hobson, 48 Mich. 27 [ 11 N. W. 771 ]. A statute is repealed by a later one in so far as its provisions are inconsistent with it, or are cov ered by it. Attorney General v. Amos, 60 Mich. 372 [ 27 N. W. 571 ].””
