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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By section 276 of the Civil Code it is provided that no mandatory injunction shall be entered by any clerk, county judge, or two justices in any case, and by section 273 of the Civil Code that an injunction may be granted by the court of any circuit judge in'the absence of the presiding judge. The jurisdiction to grant a mandatory injunction is therefore by the Code conferred upon, and confined to, the circuit judge of the district, and, in his absence, to a judge of a similar jurisdiction.” To same effect see 22 C. J. p. 22, sec. 5.”
