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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the matters complained of can be ultimately presented to the appellate court through the medium of an appeal from the final decree, mandamus will not ordinarily be granted. This for the reason, that appellate courts will not hear causes in piecemeal.””
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Moreover, under Chancery Rule 34, the court may, in its sound discretion, set aside á decree pro confesso after the testimony has been published where justice so requires. In any event, the trial court is vested with a sound discretion in setting aside decrees pro confesso, and there was no abuse of that discretion in the instant case.””
