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.
““When the statutory ground for divorce had been sufficiently alleged and the allegation had been sustained by overwhelming proof it was the duty of the Chancellor to grant the divorce in a case where the complaining spouse is shown (as in this case) ‘to be without fault in bringing about the existence of the alleged ground for divorce. See 27A C.J.S. Divorce § 15, and authorities there cited.””
