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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““At the outset it is well to state the rule for testing a case on demurrer. In Tyler v. Morgan, 214 Ark. 667 , 217 S. W. 2d 606 , we said: “ ‘Appellees demurred to this complaint on the ground that it did not state facts, sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The trial court sustained the demurrer and this appeal followed. ‘ ‘ ‘ The question presented is: Treating all allegations in the complaint, which are well pleaded, as true, and construing them liberally in favor of the pleader, as we must, was a cause of action stated? We bold that there was. “It is not necessary that the complaint should state a cause of action in every particular, for if it contains the substance of a cause of action imperfectly stated, the presumption would be that the defects in the complaint were cured by the proof at the trial.” Clow v. Watson, 124 Ark. 388 , 187 S. W. 175 .’ ””
