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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The motion to dismiss the appeal because security for the costs of the appeal was not given must be overruled. This proceeding is essentially, except as to the name of the party against whom it is instituted, a proceeding against the state. The appellant, as auditor, has no interest in the matter, except in so far as it is his duty, as a public state officer, to protect the interests of the state, and he ought to be permitted to do this without subjecting himself, .individually, for the costs. * * If not within the letter, such cases are within the spirit of section 3487 of the Revised Code.””
