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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Any person named in such petition as the owner of land shall have ten days, exclusive of Sunday and the day of docketing * * * to file with said court any demurrer, remonstrance or objection * * *. All objections to the petition or to the acting of any drainage commissioner not made within said ten days shall be deemed waived.’ “When the remonstrance comes on to be heard, within a long or short period after the filing thereof, the question to be determined ‘is whether or not the required number of landowners, with proper qualifications, were remonstrants at the expiration of the ten days’ period. No remonstrant may withdraw subsequently.’ ””
