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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““DO YOU FIND FROM A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE, THAT AT THE TIME AND ON THE OCCASION IN QUESTION, THE PLAINTIFF, AGNES L. KING, WAS NOT A DOMESTIC SERVANT? Answer: ‘She was not a domestic servant,’ or 'She was a domestic servant.’ We, the Jury Answer:- Domestic Servant as used in this charge means a person who primarily is employed in and about the maintenance of a home itself. Such a person is a household servant working within the house for the upkeep thereof, and the care, comfort and convenience of the occupants thereof.””
