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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““... in all civil cases when the plaintiff or person for whose use the action is to be commenced shall not be a resident of this state, the plaintiff or person for whose use the action is to be commenced shall, before he institutes such suit, file with the clerk of the court in which the action is to be commenced the written undertaking of some person, being a resident of this state, whereby he shall acknowledge himself bound to pay all costs which may accrue in such action; and if any such action shall be commenced without filing such undertaking, or depositing with the clerk of the court in which the suit is brought, a sum of money sufficient to pay all costs that may accrue in the case, subject to be increased at any time, whenever the court may deem proper, and by its order of record require, the court, on motion, may dismiss the same, unless such undertaking be filed or sum of money be deposited before the motion is determined, and the attorney of the plaintiff shall be ruled to pay all costs accruing therein”.”
