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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think the motion to quash must be sustained. The probate judge is vested by the statute with discretionary power in granting permits (to sell intoxicating liquors by druggists), and the duty to do so is not peremptory and absolute. It is not claimed that the probate judge refused to receive or consider the application presented. He has heard the application, and determined not to grant the same. He refuses to give his reasons therefor, but that is immaterial; he has acted.””
