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.
“The decree of the chancery court allowed support money for the minor child and use of a 1964 Mercury Monterey automobile; this was error. The defendant was not personally served with process. He was summoned by publication. The chancery court did not have jurisdiction of his person, although he filed motion to test the jurisdiction of the court. In Bunkley and Morse's Amis Divorce and Separation in Mississippi, § 6.02 at page 181, it is said that a "decree for the payment of money as alimony is essentially one in personam, and therefore totally void in the absence of actual jurisdiction over the person or the property of the one against whom it is awarded." (citations omitted).”
