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. ““Errors were also assigned in the Court of Appeals with respect to the charge and with respect to other matters occurring on the trial below'. The Court of Appeals, however, considered only the defense of absolute privilege and dismissed the suit on that ground alone. The court did not notice any other point made by the Independent Life Insurance Company and that company has filed no petition for certiorari to review the action of the Court of Appeals. “If there is one thing well settled in our practice, it is that no error of the Court of Appeals, either of commission or omission, can be reviewed by this court except upon petition for certiorari. The erroneous pre-termission of material questions by that court must be brought up in the same way that the erroneous disposition of such points is brought up to permit a review by this court. This follows from the language of the statutes which created the Court of Civil Appeals and the Court of Appeals.””
