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

1. ““We are fully aware of the holdings of this court' and of the Territorial Supreme Court that the filing of an appeal bond is jurisdictional. The case of Vowell v. Taylor, 8 Okla. 625, 58 Pac. 944 , is often cited, but in that case no' bond was given; there was nothing to correct or be amended. Also, in the late case of Washburn v. Delaney, 30 Okla. 789 , 120 Pac. 621 , it was held that the court properly refused an amendment or substitution; but that case carefully points out that the bond in the case was a mere nullity””

2. ““In proceedings on appeal, when the surety in the undertaking shall be insufficient, or such undertaking may be insufficient in form or amount, it shall be lawful for the court, on motion, to order a change or renewal of such undertaking, and direct that the same be certified to the justice from whose judgment the appeal was taken, or that it be filed in said court.””

3. ““But we are not to be technical in dealing with questions arising out of the sufficiency of appeal bonds, because this court has declared, in the case of Haas v. Lees, 18 Kan. 449 , that appeals are favored, and mere technical defects or omissions are to be disregarded as far as possible, without obstructing the course of justice.””
