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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An additional reason why the amendment [substituting the sisters as parties] could not be made in this case is that the circuit court had no original jurisdiction of a claim against the county. The county court had exclusive original jurisdiction. The circuit court can try a case of this kind; has jurisdiction to do so only when it is appealed from the county court. To permit an amendment substituting a party in the circuit court in this case, would be permitting the circuit court to exercise original jurisdiction, and this it cannot do.”
