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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It does not appear by direct evidence that the judgment originally obtained was formally set aside; but it does appear that, after the execution of the bond, the cause was again tried, and the principal obligor afforded an opportunity to make his defense; and as a result of the last trial a new judgment was rendered. This had the effect to wipe out the first judgment, if it had not been done before.””
