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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not always that parties whose rights are dealt with in the Superior Court, or by one of its justices, have a right to resort to this Court sitting as a Court of Law. In some instances the law expressly provides for the finality of decisions made by Justices of the Superi- or Court. Instances are found in the handling of motor vehicle licenses, R.S. 1944, Chap. 19, Sec. 7, . . . .” (p. 120, 48 A.2d p. 630)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““In the law under consideration the decision of the municipal officers was final from 1876 to 1921 and that of the commission of sea and shore fisheries was equally final from 1921 to 1935. The 1935 law carries no suggestion that the decision of the justice of the superior court hearing an appeal is not intended to be equally final.””
