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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But there was a conflict in the terms of the two courts. If the statute were construed to permit this practice, it would logically follow that the circuit judge could extend each term in every county in his district to the first day of the succeeding term, and recess and reconvene at his pleasure, and thus keep all the courts of his district in practically continuous session. Clearly this is forbidden by statute.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In each county of each judicial district, except counties having circuit courts of continuous session, there shall be held each year the number of terms of the circuit court provided for by law, and the term in any district may be extended if the business requires so that it does not interfere with any other term in the district. ’ ’”
