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.
““The state Constitution, section 23, article 2, preserves the right of trial by jury, but provides that it may be waived by consent of the parties interested. It is silent as to how the waiver may be manifested. . . . It would seem, that an implied consent to waive a jury trial is quite as conclusive when clearly shown as an express consent.””
