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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that a point once adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, however erroneous that adjudication, may be relied on as an estoppel in any subsequent collateral suit in the same or any other court, at law or in chancery, when either party or the privies of either party allege anything inconsistent, with it; and this, too, when the subsequent suit is upon the same or a different cause of action. Nor is it necessary that precisely the same parties were plaintiffs or defendants in the two suits.””
