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.
““We know that the practice has prevailed in the Circuit Court of pleading the usual pleas merely by stating their name, and when no objection is made to the pleas thus pleaded, we will not permit the objection to be first raised in this court. * * * But when objections were made to such pleas in the court below and are not waived here, we cannot consider them as pleas, nor pronounce that the court erred in striking them out, even if they would have constituted a bar if pleaded in due form.””
