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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence offered in the case before us was a written pleading of the plaintiff, widely declared upon a note given by Stewart and another for $190 and 10 per cent, attorney’s fees, the note and mortgage which so evidenced the amount claimed, the citation which described .said note and mortgage as the demand sued upon, and the judgment actually rendered. No credits appear indorsed on the note or mortgage, and, in the absence of any other evidence, they might be construed as evidencing a demand beyond the jurisdiction of the justice court to try. But it is to be remembered that the citation is not a pleading; that pleadings in the justice court may be oral. There is no rule of law which declares that they may not be partly oral and partly written.””
