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.
“[T]his court has held that a fund, raised by an act for a special purpose, could not be paid out of the state treasury except upon an appropriation by an act of the Legislature .... [T]he creation of a special fund is not a continuing appropriation of the fund, or of any part of it, to pay accounts drawn against it.... [T]he creation of the fund is one thing, and the appropriation of money to pay accounts against the fund is quite another thing.”
