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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[B]efore there could be a verdict in favor of [the Laymons] and against [Braddock and Carson], the damages complained of must again be in consequence of the intoxication of the person.... ".... "Now, this term ` in consequence of the intoxication of a person' is not a phrase that is used often in the law. ... [N]ormally, liability will be imposed only when the wrong is the proximate cause of an injury. "That's not the terminology or the language that we have in this statute. Our statute says there shall be a right of action for the particular persons when in consequence of the intoxication of any person one is wrongfully or contrary to law so disposed or given alcoholic beverages, and caused the intoxication of such person to the damage of the persons who can sue. " (Emphasis supplied.)”
