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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“can only set out matters germane to the case as made by the [husband's] petition and cannot recover a personal judgment against the [husband] on a separate and independent matter. . . . (citing two cases.) And a cross-action which sets up matters unrelated and unresponsive to the plaintiff’s petition is not germane to the case; and it is, for that reason, not maintainable. ( 107 S.E.2d at 653-654 .)”
