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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But it was not competent for appellants to prove by the attorney who brought the replevin suit, or by the justice who rendered the. judgment, or by any witness, that the justice in fact rendered any other or different judgment than that shown to have been rendered by the transcript offered iii evidence, or that the justice by mistake entered the judgment in the names and in favor of Gates Bros., when it should have been entered in favor of David Gates, as trustee.””
