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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was not necessary that the regular judge of the-district should call the special term. He had declined to sit in the cases at all. The special judge, by section 971, Ky. St. 1903, is given all the power of the regular judge. He is simply substituted for the regular judge in the cases referred to, and may call and hold a special term, just as a regular judge could hold it.””
