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

1. ““As the application to amend the assignment of errors, by making said Margaret A. Prough a party appellee thereto, was not made until after the time within which said appeal could be perfected by appellants under §6143, supra, it is evident that this court has no jurisdiction to grant leave to make such an amendment. “This is true, because when said application was made on March 28, 1910, this court had no jurisdiction over the person of said Margaret A. Prough, and therefore no jurisdiction to determine said appeal, as held by this court in the case of Lauster v. Meyers, supra, and cases cited. To grant leave to amend said assignment of errors, as asked for, would, in effect, allow an appeal of said cause after the time had expired within which such appeal was required by the statute to be perfected.””
