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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The record shows that the plaintiff in error, defendant in the ejectment suit, was duly summoned as required by law; and it also shows that he appeared to the action. But having been summoned was sufficient; and having failed to answer, his proper course was by motion to set aside the interlocutory judgment (R.C.1855, p. 1278, § 4, 5). Such a motion, it is true, was filed and overruled, and from the judgment of the court in overruling the motion the plaintiff could have appealed if the court had committed error.””
