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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There is an order upon the minutes by which it is directed that the bond and proceedings thereon be made a part of the record but this will not do; before extraneous matter can become part of the record, it must be examined and authenticated under the hand and seal of the judge; it is a high exercise of judicial power to make extraneous matters part of the record, and if it be not exercised with great care may be productive of much mischief.”
