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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘‘Adjoining Townships, Vote on Proposition,. When. —Whenever any five or more townships in one body in any county in the State of Missouri have heretofore adopted the laws governing the question of restraining (domestic animals), as provided in this article, then any one or more townships that have not adopted said law and that are adjoining said five or more townships in the same or an adjoining county, by a petition of twenty-five householders of each township desiring to adopt said law, petition the county court for the privilege to vote on the question of restraining (domestic animals) from running at large, the same laws governing counties are hereby applied to said township or townships, and said petitioners shall not be debarred the right to restrain said animals if a majority of the qualified voters, voting on the question of restraining said animals, at any regular or special election in said township or townships, vote in favor of restraining said anímale.” [R.
