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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appeals are favored, and mere technical defects or omissions are' to be disregarded, as far as possible, without obstructing the course of justice.” (Syl. ¶ 2.)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“‘ ‘ The plaintiffs in error are in no condition to take any advantage of any defective service in the proceedings before the justice of the peace, (if any there was, which we do not decide,) for by their appeal they are estopped from denying service of summons. Any defect existing in the service of process is thereby waived. The action of the plaintiffs in error, in presenting and having a bond of appeal filed and approved, is a submission in itself to the jurisdiction of the court; and they cannot now be permitted on error to allege a want of jurisdiction.””
