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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right; and in all trials for libel, both civil and criminal, the truth, when published with good intent and for justifiable ends, shall be a sufficient defense, the jury having the right to determine the facts and the law, under direction of the court.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[i]t is the general rule that when judgment is rendered against a party to an action after he has secured a new trial on appeal he should be taxed with the costs of the trial court on the first trial as well as on the second trial.... The reason for so doing is still stronger where there has been a mistrial not resulting in a judgment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Upon your report that you are unable to agree in the cause which has been submitted to you, I think it is my duty to remind you that this trial has, as a matter of course, been attended with large expense to the parties, and that you should make another effort to agree.”
