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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * the whole argument boils down to the question as to whether or not the court abused a vested discretion in denying continuance. The rule is well settled that the court in ruling on such motions exercises a discretion, and it is only where this court is convinced of abuse a judgment will be reversed. Herrell v. Davenport’s Ex’x, 259 Ky. 514 , 82 S.W.2d 506 . In Overstreet v. [Citizens’ Union Nat.] Bank, 256 Ky. 653 , 76 S.W.2d 641, 643 , we wrote: ‘A motion for continuance is a matter that addresses itself to the sound discretion of the trial judge and appellate courts are reluctant to and will not interfere unless it is clearly made to appear that there has been an abuse of such discretion.’ ””
