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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘Originally, all ■ of the testimony in' chancery causes was' taken by depositions before an officer authorized to take them, and marked filed by the clerk. In such- cases the certificate of the officer before' whom the depositions were taken 'authenticated the matter contained therein and the certificate of the clerk showing the--filing thereof was sufficient to make them a part of-the record. However, when a transcript of testimony which has been heard ore terms is filed with the papers in the cause without having been authenticated by the judge, it does not become a part of the record.” 189 Va., at p. 764 .
