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 77 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This must be deemed a decision by the trial court, procured by and binding upon the appellee, adjudging that all the facts known to and relied on by the appellee tending to support such general averments were already stated in this paragraph of the complaint. A statute now provides that recitals and conclusions in a pleading shall be deemed an allegation of the facts so recited and of the facts necessary to sustain such conclusions, so far as they are ‘necessary to the sufficiency of such pleading,’ subject to the right of the adverse party, by motion, to require that the facts to sustain the conclusions shall be set out. §343a Burns’ Supp. 1921, Acts 1915 p. 123. This can only mean that where a proper motion to make the pleading more specific by setting out the facts is duly made, and is overruled, the pleading must be regarded as already stating specifically the facts relied on to support the conclusions to which such motion was addressed. And as so understood appellant was not harmed in this instance by the ruling on its motions.””
