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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It follows, therefore,- that the venue of the writ should be laid as in suits brought by summons as authorized by Section 1751, R. S. 1909. The initial requirement of this section is that suits shall be brought in the county within which the defendant resides. In this case the board, created by’ the Constitution and its duties defined, has neither under the organic or the statutory law (section 18, art. 10, Const. Mo.; article 4, ch. 117, R. S. 1909) any legal entity except at the state capital. It has no migratory powers, is incapable of subdivision, can act only through a majority of its members, and from the nature of its duties and the law of its creation it can exercise its functions -only at the place of its creation. A right of action against the board, measured alone by the operation of .the statute quoted, must be limited to the place of its being.””
