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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This court lias held that when a statute requires a bond to be given and a bondsman undertakes to furnish it, the obligation of the bond which is imposed by the statute is read into the terms of the bond, and any o£ its text at variance with the statutory requisites is ignored. Such is the doctrine of the notable case of Barber County Comm'rs v. Lake State Bank, 122 Kan. 222, 226-227 , 252 Pac. 475 . Likewise, in Duke v. National Surety Co., 130 Wash. 276 , 227 Pac. 2 , it was held that conditions in a statutory bond which are repugnant to the statute are to be treated as surplusage.” (p. 233.)”

2. ““Where the statute requires a bond as a prerequisite to the performance of an act or duty prescribed or authorized by statute, the bond which is given in conformity with the statute must be interpreted in the light of the statute, and any of its text at variance with the statute will be ignored.” (Syl. ¶ 2.)”
