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.
““There was no compliance whatever with the requirements of Title 7, Pocket Part, sections 827(1) et seq., Code, as amended by General Acts of 1945, page 567, nor with Supreme Court Rule 48, Code 1940, Tit. 7 Appendix, adopted June 28, 1944. There being no evidence before this Court, our consideration is, of necessity, confined to matters contained in the record proper.” Chapman v. State, 249 Ala. 30, 31 , 29 So.2d 286 .”
