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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ... that even though the title indicated that the act dealt with a general subject, yet if it further indicated that it did so, only to the extent of repealing or amending certain specified sections of the statute, the title restricted the purpose of the act to that phase or branch of the general subject treated of in the sections of the statute therein specified.””
