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.
““When a new trial is granted, on all or part of the issues, upon the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict or decision, the order shall so specify this in writing and shall be filed with the clerk within ten days after the motion is granted; otherwise, on appeal from such order it will he conclusively presumed that the order was not based upon that ground. The court may direct a party to prepare the order. (Enacted 1872. As amended Stats. 1919, ch. 100, p. 141, § 1; Stats. 1929, ch. 479, p. 841, § 2; Stats. 1939, ch. 713, p. 2234, § 1.) ” [Emphasis supplied.]”
