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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This suit is against the county court, not against the judge of the court, to compel action on his part, ■ though he is compelled by the writ to act for the court over which he presides . . . but the action or refusal of a county judge to act through the machinery of the court over which he presides is controlled by the writ, because it is, in effect, a compulsion applied to the court as a continuing body.””
