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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“' ‘ The power of a father to emancipate his minor child cannot be questioned, nor can there be any doubt as to the effect of such emancipation upon the relations of the persons who are parties to it. The child is freed by emancipation from parental ■ control; he can claim his earnings thereafter as against his father, and is in all respects his own man. “Emancipation is defined as ‘An act by which a person, who was once in the power of another, is rendered free, ’ and the adjudged cases show that the doctrine of emancipation, as actually administered, is not less comprehensive than the definition.””
