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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In our judgment, plaintiff in error ought also to be required' to meet the reasonable expenses of defendant in error in this court, including a reasonable attorney’s fee. We find that $100 would reasonably cover the former, and that $150 would be a reasonable allowance for the latter. We therefore adjudge and decree her entitled to $250, agreeable to this finding, and direct the same to be taxed as part of the costs in this court.””
