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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This sufficiently shows the overruling of the motion and the exception to that ruling. But the motion is not embraced in the bill and it is not a part of the record unless incorporated in the bill. Seibel v. Bath, supra ( 5 Wyo. 409 , 40 Pac. 756 ). That the reference to it as above is insufficient as a compliance with the rule and the decisions that the motion shall be embraced in the bill, is well settled and was explicitly so held in Seng v. State, supra ( 20 Wyo. 222 , 122 Pac. 631 ).””
