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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * The record shows that at the close of the charge and before the jury was sent out counsel for defendant stated to the court that he had forgotten to make the motion at the proper time and asked for leave to make it then. The court stated: ‘I think the record should show that that was made as though it was made before the jury retired, and denied.’ Counsel for plaintiff offered no objection but left the matter to the court. We think defendants are entitled to ask for judgment notwithstanding the verdict provided plaintiff failed to establish the right to recover.” (Italics supplied.)”
