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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The order denying appellant’s application for counsel fees from which this appeal was taken, was made after the divorce suit had abated because of the plaintiff’s decease. Accordingly there was no ‘suit for divorce’ then pending, and the court consequently was without authority to enter an order against the defendant for suit money in the case.””
