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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Sjtatutes requiring appeal bonds are ordinarily a valid exercise of legislative power since they do not restrict or deny the “right” of appeal but merely regulate the manner of exercising it....
