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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It will be observed that the statute only permits money or property to be recovered which has been lost ‘at any gaming or gambling device.’ While this transaction was a wager, and the law will not, in the absence of an express statute, aid either party in enforcing it, it is not a ‘gaming or gambling device,’ within the meaning of section 5209. The words ‘gaming’ and ‘gambling device’ by common use and interpretation had acquired a certain signification long prior to the enactment declaring transactions like this to be gambling.””
