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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If it should be held that said contract is within the statute of frauds, then plaintiff is entitled to recover the sum of $1,000 for each of said leases, aggregating the sum of $5,000, together with 6 per cent, interest thereon from the date of said contract. Wherefore plaintiff prays for the recovery of said sum of money, for legal interest thereon from the date same was to be paid under said contract, for costs of suit, and general and special relief.””
