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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ It must be conceded that the verdict does not appear to be consistent with either theory of the case, but we cannot say that it is unsupported by the testimony. The testimony in Harris’ behalf would have supported a verdict for the entire amount in controversy, except the price of the pulley, which was only $42.50, which would, of- course, have included the $3,000 paid in cash, yet the verdict of the jury included only so much of the $3,000 as was necessary to extinguish the note and the price of the pulley, ¡and we will not therefore disturb the verdict, because the jury’s finding on the facts against appellant sustains the verdict, and would support a larger recovery against him than the mere extinguishment of the note.””
