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.

St. 1941, § 605.06 (Mason St. 1927, § 9495); Hemstad v. Hall, 64 Minn. 136 , 66 N. W. 366 ; Sayer v. Harris Produce Co. 84 Minn. 216 , 87 N. W. 617 ; Knight v. Martin, 124 Minn. 191 , 144 N. W. 941 ; Wilcox v. Wiggins, 166 Minn. 124 , 207 N. W. 23 ; Krocak v. Krocak, 189 Minn. 346 , 249 N. W. 671 . It follows that the trial court properly denied defendant’s motion for judgment non obstante.””
