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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our reports are full of cases holding that parties to actions may by their conduct in the circuit court waive their rights to insist upon a change of venue granted or refused, and when so waived, this court will not interfere for the purpose of restoring them to their lost right. We therefore hold that appellants are in no position to complain of the action of Judge Ellison in appointing the commissioners or in hearing the exceptions made to their report.”
