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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We held that contributory negligence was a question properly left to the jury in that particular case, but did not, as appellant contends in the instant case, enunciate a general rule that the contributory negligence of infants is always a jury question. Such a decision would have been a departure from a long line of authority in this State.”
