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.
““If no appeal is attempted to be granted below, or having been granted is abandoned,' the filing of the record in the office of the -clerk of this court will be treated as a motion for appeal; but if the appellant relies upon the appeal attempted to be granted below, a dismissal will be ordered without a consideration of the merits of the case. The proper practice is to file the record in the office of the clerk of this court and enter motion for an appeal, which motion will be passed upon after an examination of the record and a consideration of the -case upon its merits.” Phelps, et al. v. Johnson, 182 Ky. 755 .”
