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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If a party appeals from a justice of the peace judgment or a common pleas judgment or a municipal court judgment the clerk of the court or the justice of the peace of the court from which the appeal is taken must file the transcript of the judgment in 'the office of the circuit court clerk within thirty (30) days after the rendition of the judgment. ’ ’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““As we construe Act 203 of 1953, it just simply amended Section 1 of Act 323 of 1939 [§ 26-1307 Ark. Stats. 1947] so as to place the responsibility of filing the transcript, within the 30 day peirod, upon the clerk of the Municipal Court rather than upon 'the party who appeals ’ but left the burden on appellant to see that the transcript was so filed within that period. The Act also omits and repeals that provision, or the last sentence, in Section 1 of Act 323 which says: 'If the transcript of the judgment is not filed within 30 days after the rendition of the judgment, execution can be issued against the signers of the appeal bond.’ This Act 203, however, leaves in full force and effect, and does not repeal, the. second subdivision of § 26-1302 Ark. Stats. 1947, which provides: ‘The appeal must be taken within thirty (30) days after the judgment was rendered, and not thereafter. ’ “We hold that the burden was on appellant to see that the transcript was lodged with the Circuit Court within the 30 day period and that Act 203 of 1953, which was an amendment to Act 323 of 1939, does not change the law in this respect.””
