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.
““Not only does this assignment ignore that portion of the rule, which requires that the instructions given alleged to be error should be set out in' totidem verbis, but we find that the record shows that no exception was taken by counsel for plaintiffs in error to the action of the court below in giving said instructions. It is fundamental that no alleged error in law can be reviewed in an appellate court of the United States, when the record does not show that the ruling of the court complained of was excepted to at the time, and made part of the record by a bill of exceptions.””
