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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There was some testimony produced by respondent as to alleged intimacies' of libellant with one Mrs. Boyer. They were not connected in any way with the allegations in the libel, and were subsequent to the acts of indignities which would sustain the libel. The alleged conduct of libellant occurred after libellant and respondent had separated. The cause of divorce had fully accrued prior to libellant’s alleged misconduct, and it did not provoke the indignities of which he complains. The doctrine recognized in Ristine v. Ristine, 4 Rawle 460 , Mendenhall v. Mendenhall, 12 Pa.Super. 290 , and Fay v. Fay, 27 Pa.Super. 328, 336 , is applicable to an action in divorce based on indignities to the person, and libellant’s alleged adultery, committed after his right to a divorce had accrued, would not be cause for refusing the divorce.” Clark v. Clark, 160 Pa.Super. 562 , 52 A.2d 351 , at page 353.”
