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.

““This court has repeatedly held that the granting of a new trial upon the grounds stated in the motion and order here in question [insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict], rests in the discretion of the trial court, and that the exercise of such discretion will not be disturbed upon appeal, except there clearly appear an abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court in granting such motion.””
