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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But, whether this proceeding is an action or a mere, special proceeding in another action, we think it partakes of the nature of an action and should be tried by legal evidence, just as real actions are tried, and not upon affidavits as is usually .the case with respect to mere motions. Affidavits are the poorest kind of evidence, and should probably never be used except upon the hearing of motions, or for the verification of pleadings or other papers.””
