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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Due process does not require that personal service shall be made upon a party where the proceeding is only a continuation of litigation which is already within the jurisdiction' of the Court. * * * ‘The notice which is required to be given a defendant, under the due process clause of the Constitution of the United. States, is referable only to the commencement of an action or suit and to an opportunity to be heard on any material question which shall arise during the prosecution of the action or suit.’ Reale v. Judges of Superior Court, 265 Mass. 135 , 163 N.E. 893 , 897 * * *. However it might be if the order were an original process (See Hess v. Pawloski, 274 U.S. 352, 355 , 47 S.Ct. 632, 633 , 71 L.Ed. 1091 ) it is clear that, being no more than a part of an action previously commenced, the notice was sufficient and the defendant has been deprived of no constitutional right because he received it by registered mail rather than by personal service made upon him within the State of New York.””
