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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a chancery case the facts are found by the court, and the master’s report, while prima facie correct, is of an advisory nature, only. All the facts are open for the consideration, in the first instance, of the trial court, and in case of an appeal, by the reviewing court. Without regard to the finding of the master upon any particular question of fact, the ultimate and final question in this court is, Was the decree rendered by the chancellor the proper one under the law and the evidence ? Corbly.v. Corbly, 280 Ill. 278 ; Kelly v. Fahrney, 242 id. 240; Fairbury Agricultural Board v. Holly, 169 id. 9.””
