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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a servant, who is employed for the special purpose of operating an automobile for the master, is found operating it in the usual manner such machines arc operated, the presumjition naturally arises that he was running the machine in the master’s service. If he was not so running it,-this fact is peculiarly within the knoivledge of the master, a.nd the burden is on him to overthrow this presumption by evidence which the law presumes he is in possession of.” (Italics ours.)”
