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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Act of 1825 was continued in force through the revisions of 1835 and 1845 without change. In the revision of 1865 the word `deemed' used in the original act was changed to `decreed.' So that the section reads: `The issue of all marriages decreed null in law, or dissolved by divorce, shall be legitimate.' This change has been continued through the revisions of 1879 and 1889. [R.S. 1889, sec. 4475.]”
