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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ It is urged in the brief of plaintiff that the penalty of the bond does not limit the liability, but that the sureties on the bond are liable to any amount by virtue of their relation to the principal and that the liabilty is not limited to the penalty of the bond. We cannot assent to this view. We think that statute fixing the liability of the sureties must be read in connection with the provision requiring a bond and fixing the penalty thereof.””
