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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is important to recall, in this connection, the instructions given by the sergeant and the vice squad to the relator that the woman whose description coincided with hers should be apprehended because diseased. Taking into account this order from a superior officer and the purpose intended by its execution, we cannot conceive how a report by the relator to the department to which he owed allegiance, indicating obedience to that order, could form just cause for discharge.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We shall pause here to say that it was the city’s burden to prove this charge, as well as the others, by a preponderance of the evidence.””
