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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We prefer to adhere to the opinion announced by Mr. Justice Brady, to the effect that, where the controverting plea refers to or adopts as a part of it the petition filed in the case as to its allegation of a specific fact or facts of fraud, the statute is, in effect, complied with, in that it specifically sets out the fact or facts relied upon to confer jurisdiction.”
