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.
““It is true that defendant introduced evidence that it was customary to send some person ahead when cattle were driven at night, but the jury did not have to believe this evidence; and even if they did, they nevertheless had a right to find that the plaintiff’s agents did not fail to act as reasonably prudent persons by driving the cattle without such advance guard. The question of plaintiff’s contributory negligence was a question for the jury. [Hannah v. Butts, 14 S. W. (2d) 31 ; Beebe v. K. C., 17 S. W. (2d) 608 .]””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The statute requires the driver of an automobile to maintain lights in order that he may see objects upon the highway and thus avoid collision; but there is no statute requiring anyone to maintain an advance guard to herald the approach of cattle. Neither has any universal custom crystallized into a common-law rule to that effect.””
