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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“• “If a judgment be -rendered against a plaintiff for a defect of form, not touching the merits, he would be without remedy if the statute perfected the bar during the pendency of the first suit. To remedy this defect, the act referred to was passed. It contemplated the bringing of another suit within a year after a judgment in a suit at law for the same cause of action had been rendered against the plaintiff, but not upon its merits.””
