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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The latter was compelled by law to provide a fire extinguisher, but it was his duty to put it in a secure place where it would not be liable to fall out and Injure a patron or passerby; that obligation accompanying the duty. The petition charges the violation of the obligation to place the fire extinguisher in a secure place. Defendant was negligent in placing it where the ordinary movement of a gallery crowd might jostle it loose and let it fall on the sidewalk. The accident itself might be regarded, in the absence of explanation, as proof of the negligence charge.””
