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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As pointed out in Hughes v. Carter, 236 Md. 484, 486 , citing Charlton Bros. v. Garretson, 188 Md. 85, 94 , although the law requires proof of probable, not merely possible facts, including causal relations, ‘* * * sequence of events, plus proof of possible causal relations, may amount to proof of probable causal relations, in the absence of evidence of any other equally probable cause.’” [Emphasis added]. Id. at 408.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence““In so far as the contention goes to the competency of Carter to testify, this was a matter in the discretion of the trial court. It had the opportunity to observe Carter on the stand and had knowledge of the explanations given by him. We cannot say that the receipt of his testimony was an abuse of judicial discretion.””
