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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ The issuance of an order of contempt rests in the sound discretion of the court. Refusal of a court to adjudge one guilty of contempt is not reviewable except for abuse of discretion. 13 C. J. p. 105. The only question before us is the claimed error of the court in refusing to issue contempt process against the plaintiff. Review of an order of contempt or the refusal to issue such an order is not properly reviewable by general appeal. The proper remedy is by certiorari or mandamus.””
