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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““At the request of the district judge, the motion for a new trial has been heard by the full bench. I mention this lest counsel might fall into the misapprehension that motions of this character are hoard by the circuit judge as a matter of course. It is only when the district judge requests it that they are so heard. If it were left to counsel, every case tried before the district judge would have to be reheard.””
