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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The original summons was not returned ‘not summoned,’ as provided in section 237, Comp. Stat. 1921. It was not filled out at all and did not even purport to have been served oh the defendant. Under such circumstances, the original summons and any service thereof was a nullity in so far as service is concerned. This being the case, the clerk was authorized to issue the alias summons issued, alnd it was really the original summons in the case.””
