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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Special Issue No. 5: From a preponderance of the evidence, on what date do you find defendant Tom M. Miller received plaintiffs’ portion of the lease bonus, if you have so found ? Answer by giving the month and year. “Answer September, 1954. “In this connection defendant would show the Court that the jury answered that such monies was received by defendant in September, 1954, which is in fact more than two years prior to the bringing of this lawsuit, and is barred by the Two year Statute of limitation in this case, and the only judgment that could be legally rendered would be in favor of defendant and against plaintiff. “Wherefore, defendant prays the judgment be rendered and entered in favor of defendant and against plaintiff, and for such other and further relief, special and general as the record in this case may justify.””
