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.
“. “This principle of law is recognized by counsel for appellee, but they contend that it is not applicable under the facts in the present case because all of the electors residing in District No. 64 signed the petition and to have given notice would, they say, have been a useless thing. But it may be that property owners within District No. 64 did not reside within the district, and therefore did not sign the petition. They were interested in the question as to whether or not a school district in which their property was situated should be dismembered, and for that reason notice should have been given, so that, in the event they saw fit to do so, they might have used whatever influence they might have had with their tenants and other electors residing within the district to cause them not to sign the petition.””
