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.
““We are of the opinion, therefore, that the action of the plaintiff in error in prosecuting his appeal by filing his assignments of error, hereinabove responded to, has itself given verity to the minute entry of July 29th, which, together with the certificate of the clerk of the trial court, constitutes a sufficient authentication of the record of the trial in the circuit and criminal court, even though said minute entry does not hear the signature of the presiding judge.””
