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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘It is for the public good,’ says Mr. Broom, ‘that there be an end of litigation; and if there be any one principle of law settled beyond all question, it is this, that whensoever a cause of action, in the language of the law, transit in rem judicatam, and the judgment remains therein in full force and unreversed, the original cause of action is merged and gone forever..’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The judgment is final and conclusive between the parties, not only as to the matter actually determined, but as to every other matter which the parties might have litigated and had decided as incident to or essentially connected with the subject-matter of the litigation, within the purview of the original action, either as a matter of claim or defense.””
