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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion for directed verdict was made at the close of the plaintiff’s case and denied by the Court. The defendant then introduced evidence, and such waived the motion made at the close of plaintiff’s case. Grooms v. Neff Harness Co., 79 Ark. 401 , 96 S.W.135; Ft. Smith Cotton Oil Co. v. Swift, 197 Ark. 594 , 124 S.W.2d 1 ; and Granite Mountain v. Schwarz, 236 Ark. 46 , 364 S.W.2d 306 . At the close of entire case appellant again moved for directed verdict, and that brings the ruling before us. [ 239 Ark. at 574 ; 393 S.W.2d at 250 .]”
