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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The time and manner of introducing and closing the evidence in a suit are necessarily within the judicial discretion of the presiding judge. So where a witness was allowed to be examined in a suit by a defendant after the plaintiff had closed his rebutting testimony, on the ground (as expressed by the court) that new facts had been disclosed, such decision held not revisable on error. Hutchins v. Childress & Baker, 4 Stew. & Port. 34; Gayle v. Bishop, 14 Ala. 552 . The court may in its discretion decline to permit the defendant to introduce evidence after the plaintiff has closed his evidence in rebuttal. Borland v. Mayo, 8 Ala. 104 .””
