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.
““The only remaining question to be considered is that in reference to the sufficiency of the causes of action filed with the attachments. Under Section 28 of Article 9 of the Code, the affidavit, short note, declaration, vouchers, pleadings, interrogatories, claim of property and all other papers in attachment proceedings can be amended 'in the same manner and to the same extent as the proceedings in any other suits or actions at law, Go that all attachment cases may be tried on their real merits and the purposes of justice subserved; nor shall any proceedings be quashed or set aside for any defects in mere matters of form.’ These records fail to show that objection was made in the lower court at any time to these attachments on this ground. If there had been such objections, under our present practice the causes of action could have been amended, if deemed necessary or proper. While the defendant did not appear to the capias cases he has been represented by counsel throughout in the attachment cases, and we do not feel called upon or at liberty to now inquire into the .sufficiency of the causes of action. The defendant has certainly had every opportunity to make his de>fenses.””
