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.
““The affidavit is not in the most approved form. But a substantial compliance with the law is all that is required; and the law does not prescribe the terms of the affidavit; but only that the party applying shall make affidavit in writing, setting forth sufficient cause to entitle him to the writ. Hart. Dig. art. 1735. The practice has been to construe these proceedings liberally, and not to require the same strictness which is required in the proceedings in ordinary suits in the district court.””
