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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Admission of testimony of defendant’s visit to the plaintiff’s wife after she had left her husband. As already stated, subsequent conduct, in cases of this kind, not only tends to show motives and relations existing at the time, but also to reflect light upon the previous relations of the parties. In this latter phase the testimony was admissible. 1 Greenl. Ev. (15th ed), § 108, note a; 7 Am. & Eng. Ency. L. p. 50.””
