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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The bastardy act is a statute separate from codes of civil or criminal procedure, enacted for the purpose, as indicated by its title, of 'providing for the maintenance and support of illegitimate children.’ To accomplish that purpose it provides a procedure of its own. This procedure is outlined in the statute itself, step by step, so far as the legislature deemed it necessary to do so, . . .” (p. 597.)”
