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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The garnishee answered each of the six interrogatories. Although the answers are very brief and skimpy, as observed by the trial judge, they declare that the defendant debtor was not employed by it at the time the interrogatories were served and that he has not since been employed by the garnishee, and that it owed the debtor only $18.00. An examination of the interrogatories and the answers thereto convinces us that the answers substantially comply with the requirements of the pertinent statutes.”
