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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But any taxpayer, feeling himself aggrieved by the action of said board of supervisors, may appeal to the quarterly court within thirty days after the final adjournment of said board by filing with the judge of said court a certified copy, under the hand of the clerk of said board, of the action of said board.” “And as to further appeals, he shall have the same rights as are now allowed by law in civil cases. It shall be the duty of the county attorney to appear and defend for the board.””
