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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court, after due consideration of the pleadings, the evidence, and the argument of counsel, as well as .the verdict of the jury upon such special issues, finds that the law and the facts are with the defendants. It is therefore considered by the court that the plaintiffs take nothing by their suit, and that the defendants recover of and from the plaintiffs all costs incurred in this cause, and that defendants have their execution.””
