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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There was no evidence before the court, when the order of reference was made, that the statutory conditions existed, upon which a compulsory reference could be ordered. There was nothing in the nature of the action, or in the pleadings,- tending to show that the examination of a long account on either side would become necessary on the trial.””
