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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] [Rule 59] motion for new trial is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court, and its ruling will not be disturbed absent a manifest abuse of that discretion.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) Any irregularity by which any party was prevented from having a fair trial; (2) Misconduct of the jury or prevailing party; (3) Accident or surprise which ordinary prudence could not have guarded against; ... (7) Insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict or that the verdict is contrary to law; [or] ... (9) Any other reason heretofore recognized as grounds for a new trial. On a motion for a new trial in an action tried without a jury, the court may open the judgment if one has been entered, take additional testimony, amend findings of fact and conclusions of law or make new findings and conclusions, and direct the entry of a new judgment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“New Trials; amendment of judgments. (a) Grounds. — A new trial may be granted to all or any of the parties and on all or part of the issues for any of the following causes or grounds: (5) Manifest disregard by the jury of the instructions of the court; (7) Insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict or that the verdict is contrary to law[.]”
