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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. The evidence must have been discovered since the trial. “2. It must be such as could not, by the exercise of diligence, have been discovered before the trial terminated. “3. It must be material, and such as ought to produce a different result on the next trial. “4. It must not be merely cumulative, corroborative or collateral. Burks’ Pl. & Prac. (2d ed.) 556; Barsa v. Kator, 121 Va. 290 , 93 S. E. 613 ; and Carson v. Mott, 117 Va. 21 , 84 S. E. 12 .””
