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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“And it appearing to the Court, that there is on deposit with the intervener, First State Bank of Wolfe City, Texas, a sum of $3800.00 belonging to the City of Wolfe City, constituting a portion of the funds derived from a bond issue for the purpose of construction of the work in question and that had the work been completed in accordance with said contract and said alterations thereof, the defendant, Bradshaw, would have been entitled to have the same applied to the payment of the several claims for labor established by the intervener bank in this cause. "The Court is of the opinion, that under the judgment in this case, the defendants are entitled to have the same applied now, as though the work had been completed by said Bradshaw. "It is therefore, further ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court, that the sum of money so on deposit in said bank, be applied towards the discharge of the judgment herein rendered as follows: $2842.75 shall be applied in discharge of the judgment herein rendered in favor of the City of Wolfe City and the balance thereof shall be applied to the payment and discharge, so far as it will go, *Page 560 of the judgment rendered in favor of the said First State Bank of Wolfe City, Texas.”
