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

1. ““Here, the statute is that the insured’s right to the money accrued when the contingency happened, but his right to sue, the jurisdiction of the court to entertain or allow the action, arose only when claim by insured made was by the director denied. It follows that his former action brought before claim denied was premature, but it was dismissed for want of prosecution only, for that the complaint untruly alleged the jurisdictional disagreement had occurred. “As the said action was premature, it was not ‘seasonably begun,’ it was a nullity, and so it affords no basis to extend limitations and authorize the court to allow the instant action, which it would, had the former action been ‘seasonably begun’ as the statute provides.””
