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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The evidence offered to prove the averments of the petition is not before us. The court in its judgment states ‘upon a consideration of the evidence offered’ the petition is granted, and the order of condemnation was made. Nothing appearing in the record to the contrary, we will presume the evidence offered sustained and supported the averments of the petition and authorized the court to enter this order of condemnation, allowed under the statute. Sections 3865 and 3875, Code 1907.” (Tit. 19, §§ 7, 17, Code 1940.)”
