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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not agree to this interpretation of the constitutional provision, which in plain terms confers jurisdiction on the county court £in all matters relating to county taxes, roads, bridges, ferries,’ etc. This undoubtedly includes the regulation of ferry rates, because it is a part of the control of ferries. It was the plain purpose of the framers of the Constitution to place within the jurisdiction of the county court all control and regulation of ferries. The jurisdiction was exercised by the county court without objection in the case of Covington v. St. Francis Co., 77 Ark. 258 , 91 S. W. 186 .””
