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.
““The plaintiff not having taken any exceptions at the trial and before the verdict, the question of the judge’s conduct, although assigned as one of the grounds for setting the verdict aside, is not open. . . . And, the granting or denial of the motion having been a matter of discretion, the refusal to order a new trial cannot be reviewed.””
