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

  1. ““When a new trial is asked on the ground that a juror has been guilty of misconduct, the person seeking a neAv trial on this ground should do so at the earliest moment after he has received information of the misconduct complained of, and should file his affidaAdt stating when he obtained the information. If the party seeking a new trial on this ground fails to do this, he will be deemed to have waived his right to rely on the misconduct as a ground for a new trial after there has been a verdict against him.””
