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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Repeals by implication are not favored in the law. Houck v. State, 166 Ark. 613 , 267 S.W. 127 ; State v. White, 170 Ark. 880 , 281 S.W. 678 ; Mays v. Phillips County, 168 Ark. 826 , 272 S.W. 62 . This court held in Babb v. El Dorado, 170 Ark. 10 , 278 S.W. 649 , that `the repeal of any law merely by implication is not favored and the repeal will not be allowed unless the implication is clear and irresistible.' Again, this court held in Gilliland Oil company v. State ex rel. Attorney General, 171 Ark. 415 , 285 S.W. 16 , that `the presumption is against repeal of statutes by implication'.”
