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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court of common pleas did not err in overruling the motion of defendants to discharge the attachment. Section 192 of the code (now section 5522) authorizes the making of an order of attachment upon the ‘affidavit of the plaintiff, his agent or attorney,’ showing certain facts therein enumerated. The sufficiency of an affidavit for an order of attachment made by the plaintiff’s agent or attorney is determined by the same tests as one made by the party himself. There is no such limitation upon the power of an agent or attorney to make an affidavit for an attachment as is prescribed by Sec. 1136 of the code (now Sec. 5109). This section was intended to apply only to affidavits in verification of pleadings. This is rendered clear from the context of the section as well as by its terms.””
