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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While it is true that a scire facias for the purpose of obtaining execution is ordinarily a judicial writ to continue the effect of the former judgment, yet it is in the nature of an action because the defendant may plead to it; and in many cases it has been classified as, in substance, a new action (citing many cases).In these cases it was ruled that scire facias on a judgment was not a mere continuation of a former suit but created a new right.” .... “A judgment upon a scire facias ‘is in legal effect a new judgment, and the statute of limitations begins to run from its date anew.’ .... “The conclusion of the court upon the final hearing upon the scire facias is something more than air execution. It is a judgment. If so, then we are informed by the Constitution of the United States, and the act of Congress under it, what effect must be given to this judgment in Louisiana. It must have the same effect here that it has in the state of Mississippi. ’ ’”
