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

1. ““It seems to be admitted that the body of that act is sufficiently explicit to cover this kind of a bond; but it is claimed by the appellant that its provisions in that respect are invalid because they are not expressed in the title of the act, as required by § 19, art. 2 of the state constitution, the title of the act being ‘An act providing for the release of sureties on official bonds and undertakings.’ That is, that the bond in this case is not an official bond as contemplated by that act.””
