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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The assignment of errors is the complaint in this court, and only the parties adverse to appellants in the judgment appealed from, over whom jurisdiction is acquired, are those named therein as appellees. If such adverse parties to the appeal are not made appellees in this court, the case cannot be determined upon its merits, because this court has no power to disturb the judgment without disturbing it as to all in whose favor it was rendered, and this court has no jurisdiction to disturb it as to those who are not parties to the appeal.” Lauster v. Meyers (1908), 170 Ind. 548 , 84 N. E. 1087 . (See Rule 6 of Supreme Court; Ewbank, Manual of Practice (2d ed.) §126; Elliott, Appellate Procedure §322; and list of cases cited under §719 Burns 1926.)”
