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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Moreover, in such a proceeding as the one at bar, the submission or rejection of interrogatories is entirely within the discretion of the court. When clothed with equity jurisdiction, it lies within the power of a court to reject all findings returned by a jury and make such of its own as it sees fit, or it may adopt as its own the answers of the jury, or such portions of them as it may deem proper. In equitable proceedings, a jury is not a matter of right, nor can a party, in such ease, require of the court that any question, or interrogatories be submitted to a jury for their determination. A jury, if used at all, sits in merely an advisory capacity, and as such their verdict and findings are to be treated.””
