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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Inasmuch as the amendment requested did not call for an increase in the amount claimed by plaintiff, but only set up an additional reason why plaintiff claimed a levy of 2.45 mills made for county highway purposes was illegal and void, we think the request was proper and that the amendment should have been allowed.””

Walker““Allowance of amendments of pleadings after trial has commenced is in the sound discretion of the trial court, and ordinarily are allowed when timely request is made and it appears that justice will be furthered thereby, but such amendments may not be allowed when they change substantially the claim or defense.””
