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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Civil actions of which the circuit court has original jurisdiction shall be commenced in the county in which the defendant or any of them may be found, ... or in the county where the cause of action may occur or accrue except where otherwise provided, ... If a citizen resident in this state shall be sued in any action, not local, out of the county of his household and residence, ... the venue shall be changed, on his application, before the jury is impaneled, to the county of his household and residence... . (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Permission to plaintiffs to select the situs of personal actions, not local, would often work great hardship and disadvantage to defendants. Conceivably the suit might be filed in this state three hundred miles from the county of the residence of such a defendant, necessitating large outlay of money for travel and other expenses, to defend the suit with resulting inability of such defendant to procure attendance of witnesses at the trial. ( 231 Miss. at 742 , 97 So.2d at 731 )”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"It was not possible, by subsequent recitals, to reaffirm the validity of the final judgment. Subsequent proceedings cannot breathe life into the prior dead [void] judgment.””
