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.
““ In Hyman v. McVeigh, decided by the Supreme Court in 1878, reported in Chicago Legal Hews, Vol. 10, page 157, and mentioned among the unreported cases at the end of 87th 111., the. phrase in our statute, ‘ When a cause of action has arisen in a State or Territory out of this State,’ was construed. And the court say the words, ‘ When a cause of action has arisen,’ as they occur in the statute pleaded, should be construed as meaning, when jurisdiction exists in the courts of a State to adjudicate between the parties upon the particular cause of action, if properly invoked; or, in other words, when the plaintiff has the right to sue the defendant in the courts of the State upon the particular cause of action, without regard to the place where the cause of action had its origin.””
