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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The variance between the judgment nisi and the scire facias (citation) is apparent, because the bond was conditioned that the principal make his appearance in one court, while the judgment nisi recites that the principal was to appear in a court other than and different from that named in the bond, and the scire facias (citation) recites that the principal was to appear in a court different from that named in the judgment nisi. Such variance is fatal to a judgment making final the judgment nisi.””
