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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems to- be generally held by the modern courts that, where a summons in a court of record is served, accompanied by ■a complaint, the defendant is required to look to- the complaint, and not to the summons for the purpose of determining the cause of action against him, and that a variance between the cause of action as stated: in the complaint and the summons will not entitle the defendant to a -dismissal of the complaint or setting aside the summons.””
