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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We intended the court to understand that, as a matter of law there was sufficient evidence on plaintiff’s behalf, if believed, to establish such trust, but since defendant’s evidence, if believed, showed no trust, it was up to the trial court to~ decide which witnesses were entitled to credence and if the trust was in fact established by the evidence.” Emphasis supplied.”
