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.
“‘ ‘ Those in whose favor these allowances or costs are adjudged in cases of this kind are, under the special statute (Revised Statutes 1909, section 2279), entitled to control the judgment therefor in their favor and, for that matter, would seem to be as much ‘parties’ to the judgment in their favor as any other who secures a money judgment. Their relation to the judgment is very different from that of the court official entitled to fees accruing in connection with an ordinary action and whose rights with respect to collecting his fees or costs are defined by a wholly different statute.””
