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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. Plaintiff especially objects and excepts to paragraph (F) in the Court’s instructions regarding the word ‘Emergency’ for the reason that there is no evidence in this case that the defendant, its agent and employees had exercised ordinary care immediately, prior to the time of the collision in question, and there is no evidence in the case that would authorize the submission of any issue on the question of emergency on the part of the defendant, its agents, servants and employees. And further to that same paragraph for the reason that it states ‘not proximately caused by the negligent act of the employees operating defendant’s train’, for the reason that a proper definition should state ‘not proximately caused by the • negligent act of the defendant, its' agents, servants, or employees’, wherein this definition restricts the negligence to ■ only the employees operating the train.””
