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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While they [the managers] represented the state in making the contracts with Linus Jones Peck & Co., they did not stand in the place of the state in any suit brought against them either for misfeasance or nonfeasance in the discharge of the duties devolved upon them by law. No provision is-found in any statute giving them authority to represent the state in any litigation, or giving the consent of the state to be bound by any adjudication to be made against them.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““If upon their demand [upon the managers] payment was refused, they could have instituted proceedings before the state board of audit, and could thus have had their claim adjudicated, and could have obtained payment of any award made to them.””
