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

1. “Section 1 of Act No. 239, 1918, p. 429, to which we have referred, in declaring that dogs should not ran at large, evidently has reference to dogs assessed; otherwise it would not have provided for any liability in damages where killed by a citizen or officer, as no damages could be claimed for a dog not assessed, as such is not property. A dog roaming at large must, however, be tagged, as required under section 3 of that statute, to entitle the owner to recover for its value, if killed.”
