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

1. ““True, lie states it is ordinarily a good objection to a bill of discovery that it seeks the discovery from a mere witness who has no interest in the suit. Unless, therefore, Kurtz stands in the relation of a mere ordinary witness to the cause, there would seem to be no ground of denying complainant relief. That he is a witness and not a party is clear, in that no relief, other than mere discovery, is sought against him; but that ho has by his conduct so connected himself with the subject-matter of the proposed suit that he is treated as wholly different from a mere witness is equally clear.””

McDonald, as an application of equitable principles to the facts of the case, was wholly in accord with well-recognized principles' of chancery jurisdiction. It exhibits the capacity of the law, while adhering firmly to precedents of far-removed times, to adapt itself to new conditions.””
