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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Complainant avers that prior to their separation on September 9, 1955, but after their remarriage to each other on September 3, 1955, the respondent committed actual violence on the person of your complainant, attended with danger to her life or health, or from his conduct there was reasonable apprehension of such violence, in that the respondent slapped your complainant and struck her about the face and body, and complainant separated from the respondent and has not lived with him since.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
