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.
““Defendants vigorously contend the most that can be said for all of this evidence is that it amounts to nothing more than ‘tongue-wagging gossip,’ and they rely upon language contained in the dissenting opinion in the. case of Smith v. Smith, 105 Kan. 294 (302), 182 Pac. 538 , in which it was said that it must not be forgotten that what the statute deals with is not notoriety of paternity but notoriety of recognition of the child by the father — the one person who, under the statute, could confer heirship.” (p. 129.)”
