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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute requires the court, vdien requested by either party, to ‘state in writing the conclusions of facts found separately from the conclusions of law.’ [Sec. 2135, R. S. 1889.] Elliott, in his recent work on Practice (Sec. 975), gives this rule as one, in his opinion, founded upon right principle: ‘If a special finding is silent on a material point it is deemed a finding against the party who has the burden of proof.’ This rule finds support in the decisions of the Supreme Court of Indiana. [Railroad v. Hart, 119 Ind. 280 ; Bank v. Bolen, 121 Ind. 304 .]””
