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 84 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether from grace or right, when cogent and* convincing reasons appear, such as lack of harmony with other decisions, and where no injustice or hardship would flow from a change, or where by inadvertence principles of law have been incorrectly declared the first time, or mistake of fact has been made, or injustice to the rights of parties would be done by adhering to the first opinion, then the exceptions to the rule have play and it is our duty to re-examine and correct our own errors on the second appeal in the same case.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““We have used the strong term, ‘res adjudicata’, in cases in connection with the general rule. Possibly the use of the term is a little due to poverty of our language in expressing nice shades of thought, or by way of analogy. However that be, the exceptions to the rule show the term res adjudicata, in all its strictness, is an inappropriate or loose expression in that connection. Tt would be better to say ‘in the nature of res adjudicata.’ ””
