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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellants are not in-a position to complain that appellee was not competent to testify concerning transactions which he had with his mother, who was dead when the testimony was given. It appears that he was called as a witness by appellants and his deposition taken in their behalf. Having examined him in reference to numerous transactions with his mother, his disqualification as a witness was removed, and he became competent -to testify in his own behalf as to matters concerning which he had been so interrogated. 40 Cyc. 2344; German v. Brown & Leeper et al. 145 Ala. 364 , 39 So. 742 ; Currie et al. v. Michie, 123 Wis. 120 , 101 N. W. 370 ; Weil & Bro. v. Silverstone, 6 Bush 698 .””
