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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon the foregoing facts, as to which there is no dispute, •we are of opinion that it was proper for Judge Chinn to sign these bills as and when he did, and that they now have as much validity and are as much parts of the record before us as if they had been signed by Judge Blakey when first tendered to him. The fact that the judge who signed them was not in person the same judge who tried the case has not' been made the subject of any question before us, and is placed beyond the pale of controversy by the decision of this court in Southall v. Evans, 114 Va. 461 , 76 S. E. 929 , 43 L. R. A. (N. S.) 468, Ann. Cas. 1914B, 1229. It may be said here, as was said by Judge Keith there, ‘he (the succeeding judge) was thereby clothed with every function of the judge of the court, and was competent to pass upon every case then remaining upon the docket.’ ””
