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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The provision of the section assailed is an essential and inseparable part of the definition. . . . We cannot assume that the legislature would have enacted any portion of this section defining a newspaper of general circulation without the qualifying clause requiring it to be published at regular intervals for a period of one year. If the requirement for the publication during one year is invalid and of no effect, then section 4460 fails to define such a newspaper. “. . . No right can exist to have established by decree of court that a newspaper is one of general circulation, as that term is defined by section 4460, if that part of the section defining such a paper is invalid. “. . . If it is invalid, the section as a matter of law contains no definition of a newspaper of general circulation, and there is no foundation for the petition.””
