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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Domicile of the elector is a mixed question of law and fact, dependent upon the intention and acts of the elector.... In Holmes v. Holmes, 212 Ala. 597, 599 , 103 So. 884, 886 [ (1925) ], the law of domicile is thus stated: A domicile once acquired is presumed to continue until a change, facto et animo, is shown. Bragg v. State, 69 Ala. 204 [ (1881) ]. If there was a change, there must have been both an abandonment of his former domicile with no present intention to return, 'and the establishment of another place of residence with intention to remain permanently, or, at least, for an unlimited time; the former may be inferred from the latter. Allgood v. Williams, 92 Ala. 551 , 8 So. 722 [ (1891) ]; Caldwell v. Pollak, 91 Ala. 353 , 8 So. 546 [ (1890) ]; Young v. Pollak, 85 Ala. 439 , 5 So. 279 [(1888)]; Merrill’s [Heirs ] v. Morrissett [ 76 Ala. 433 [ (1884) ]], supra.’ ””
