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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[t]he statement ... to be filed with the clerk in order to meet the requirement of the statute and entitle the [claimant] to a lien, is a list or statement, in detail, of each different item of labor or material, showing the nature and kind of work done and the kind and amount of material, together with the respective dates at which the labor was performed or the material furnished. When a lien is sought on an account ... it must appear affirmatively from the face of the notice of the claim registered with the clerk that each different item of the account is that for which the statute grants the lien, and that in point of time a lien may be claimed thereon. Such notice is a prerequisite to the right of the [claimant] to a lien under the statute.”
