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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To allow such a change, when others will not be injuriously affected thereby, is not only manifestly just, but before the enactment of that statute (122-401) it was held by this court that the place of diversion may be changed if it can be accomplished without injury to others, following the well-settled rule on the subject. (Johnston v. Little Horse Creek Irr. Co., 13 Wyo. 208 , 79 Pac. 22 ; 70 L. R. A. 341; 110 Am. St. Rep. 986 .) It would seem, therefore, that a legislative intention to change the rule thus styled, should be clearly expressed.””
