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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * the admissions of a party in the form of testimony constitute sufficient ‘memoranda’ or- ‘writings’ under the Statute of Frauds, for recorded testimony is regarded as -equivalent to signed depositions. The purpose of the Statute of Frauds is to protect a party, not from temptation to commit perjury, but from perjured evidence against him. Admissions of a party in testifying, while evidence, in form, are in essence not mere evidence but make evidence against him unnecessary.” Id. at 52-53 , 45 A.2d at 746 .”
