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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In an action for false arrest and imprisonment, the injury to the feelings and mental sufferings, arising from the mortification, shame, fear, and humiliation suffered by the arrested party from the circumstances of the arrest and detention, are proper elements for damages to be considered by the jury, as well as the physical inconveniences suffered.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““While the trial court is vested with a broad discretion in granting a new trial, yet, if it granted a new tidal solely on the ground of an error of law, which in fact was not an error, and the other grounds relied upon are not sufficient to justify its action, it is error, under such circumstances, to grant a new trial. ’ ’”
