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.
““Plaintiff also insists that the testimony of Miss Greeson was not admissible under a plea of the general issue. Her testimony was to the effect that plaintiff, defendant, and herself met at defendant’s office to make arrangements about printing the record; that defendant positively refused to become in any way responsible for it; and that the contract was agreed to between herself and plaintiff, and defendant was not a party to it. It should be obvious that it was competent for defendant to show under a plea of the general issue that he had no contract relations with plaintiff for printing the Greeson record, as claimed by her. It was not an affirmative defense.””
