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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Whatever might be the fate of the other pleas or issues, this plea barred the action against this defendant. One good plea in bar being confessed, for that is the effect when it is not replied to or traversed, operates as a complete bar to the action, and the action being barred, the plaintiff could not by any possibility get a judgment over and in spite of this bar, whether the other pleas were good or bad. “Where the defendant’s plea goes to bar the action, if the plaintiff demurs to it and the demurrer is determined in favor of the plea, judgment of ml capiat shall be entered, notwithstanding there may be also one or more issues of fact; for the reason that upon the whole, it appears the plaintiff had no cause of action.””
