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.
““From the nature of the case, if the court had not acquired any jurisdiction to take cognizance of the action, the order was necessarily a final one, which prevented further proceedings in the district court. It is properly appealable under Gen. St. 1878, c. 86, § 8, subd. 5.””
