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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The fact that the appellant was given permission to amend the assignment of errors after the time for filing the transcript had expired did not defeat the right of appellee, Joseph F. Howard, to have the appeal dismissed; and' it was not intended that the granting of appellant’s petition to amend should decide the question of dismissal of the appeal, as it was then ordered that the consideration of the petition to dismiss should be postponed. “As twenty of the petitioners for the drain who were parties to the proceeding and affected by the judgment were not named as appellees in the first assignment of errors, and as same was not amended within the time for filing it, the motion to dismiss the appeal should be sustained. “Appeal dismissed.””
