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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1 “But it is suggested that, although the whole case was decided, the decision was not sufficiently definite, inasmuch as it failed to name the precise amount in dollars and cents. The objection really goes to the form rather than (to) the substance. The decision did give judgment for a particular amount, to wit, the balance due on a record of the Court, which in the summons was set out particularly. Nothing was lacking but a calculation of the interest, which was not necessary; but if so, being a mere clerical matter, it was referred to' the officer of the Court, whose duty it was to enter the formal judgment of the Court. It is a proper case for the application of the maxim, ‘Id certum est quod cerium reddi potest.3 ””
