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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“_ “The court adjudged defendant in contempt ‘for his failure to pay the sum of $10,000 alimony,’ under the amended decree. This was error. The decree as amended, even if held valid, constituted the $10,000 award not alone alimony but also an award in lieu of dower. _ Such awards may be joined, but, if so allowed in a lump sum, contempt for nonpayment of such sum may not be adjudged.””
