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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We recognize that the jurisdiction of our courts of equity (as the jurisdiction in 1874) can neither be enlarged or restricted. But there is a distinction between (1) jurisdiction and (2) grounds for the exercise of jurisdiction. [Quoting from Marvel v. State ex rel. Marrow, 127 Ark. 595 , 193 S. W. 259 , 5 A.L.R. 1458 ] ‘The act in question lias not conferred upon the chancery courts of this state any additional jurisdiction. It has merely prescribed a new condition upon which this ancient jurisdiction may be exercised. The act is remedial in its nature and, while the Legislature can not enlarge or restrict the jurisdiction of chancery courts, it is entirely within the province of the Legislature to prescribe the procedure for the exercise of this jurisdiction and to prescribe new conditions under which that jurisdiction may be exercised.’ ” ■”
