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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order to justify as a privileged publication of an official report, the proof must show that the pretended publication of the report is true in substance. If a garbled report is published, or the facts therein contained are perverted, so as to convey the meaning that an official therein referred to had committed a crime, or had been guilty of misconduct, when no such meaning could fairly be drawn from the report, justification is not made out, and the occasion of privilege fails.””
