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 findings before us are not specific as to the purpose for which all the warrants for which payment is claimed by appellants were issued. The judgment is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded, with directions to the superior court to find the nature of all obligations for which the warrants in suit were issued, and that those issued for necessary expenses in maintaining the existence of the municipality be adjudged valid, and that respondents be enjoined from payment from the funds in the city treasury, raised to pay indebtedness, of warrants or indebtedness issued subsequently to appellants’ warrants so adjudged valid.””
