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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This method of service is, we think, fair and safe, really safer than the domiciliary service, and constitutes due process of law, and is neither objectionable nor unconstitutional, as contended for by defendant. Counsel for defendant says our Supreme Court has never passed on the constitutionality of the act under consideration, and that, though the courts are divided on this subject, the better' rule is that such statutes are unconstitutional. We do not so find and hold that the substituted service provided for in the statute under-discussion constitutes due process of law, and is not amenable to the objection urged by learned counsel for defendant.””
