These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“, “But this overlooks the vital distinction between appeals and writs of error, which has always been observed by this court, and recognized in legislation. An appeal brings up question of fact as well as of law, but upon a writ of error only questions of law apparent on the record can be considered, and there can be no inquiry whether there was error in dealing with questions' of fact.” Behn v. Campbell, 205 U. S. 403 , 407, 27 Sup. Ct. 502 , 504, 51 L. Ed. 857 .”
