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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendants, before the charge of the court was read to the jury, filed written objections to the issues submitted, on the ground that the case was submitted upon the wrong theory as to. the measure of damages, and framed and incorporated in the objections an issue, with the request that it be submitted, requiring the jury to find the difference between the value of the property received and that given in exchange. This was, in our opinion, a sufficient request to submit the omitted issue. The statute merely requires that the request to submit an issue be in writing, and in such form as to advise the court that the complaining party desires to have the jury, rather than the judge, decide the issue incorporated in the request. Moore v. Pierson, 100 Tex. 113 , 94 S. W. 1132 . The failure of the court to give the, requested issue requires a reversal of the case.””
