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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The idea is that a juror, having once served, will have opinions more or less strongly settled from the testimony he has hoard, and of course he will have such opinions whether he has heard much or little testimony. Indeed, it would seem as though there were greater danger of injustice from a juror who has heretofore heard only one side of the case than from one who has heard both. * * * But whether much or little, they heard all the plaintiff’s testimony; and, if that made out a prima facie case, and they heard nothing more, their convictions in favor of the plaintiff would naturally become more settled and fixed during the interval between the two trials, and they would scarcely enter the seeond inquiry entirely impartial as between the parties.””
