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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But plaintiff did not prosecute alternative courses of procedure, nor seek to exact alternative or inconsistent remedies. True, her petition contains ample recitals to state a cause of action in tort, but' it also did state a cause of action for money had and received, and no objection was raised to her pleading. Plaintiff’s cause of action was founded on two quite consistent theories of defendants’ liability — one, that' the defendants were liable to her for money and money’s worth as joint wrongdoers, and the other, that defendants were liable to her for money and money’s worth had and received without consideration.” (p. 54.)”
