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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Various errors are alleged as occurring during the trial in the admission of testimony, etc. ; but unfortunately for the plaintiffs in error, the motion for a new trial was not filed until four days after the verdict, and no reason shown for the delay. Hence, as already settled by this court, none of these questions so fully discussed by counsel are before us for consideration.””
