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.

“‘•The second objection is equally untenable. When the law allowed the proceeding to be taken at the chambers oí the judge of the court, it meant at the chambers where he can conveniently attend to business relating to cases in his district, not that they must necessarily be within the territorial limits of his district. As one of the judges of the territory, it is a part of his duty to sit in the Supreme Court. He is one of its members, and his chambers, ■whilst the Supreme Court is in session, and he is in attendance upon it, may be at the place where that court is sitting.””
