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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““20 — 906. Pleading after plea in abatement overruled. — A defendant has the right, upon the overruling of a plea in abatement, for any cause filed by him to any action, to plead to the merits, and rely upon any defenses, as if said plea had not been interposed. [Acts 1897, ch. 121, § 1; Shan., § 4625al; Code 1932, § 8755.]” “20-907. Simultaneous pleas in abatement and in bar. — A defendant can, in any suit, plead both in abatement and in bar, at the same time, and said plea in bar is no waiver of the plea in abatement, and when so pleaded, both pleas shall be heard at the same time, and judgment rendered on each plea. [Acts 1897, ch. 121, § 2; Shan., § 4625a2; Code 1932, § 8756.]””
