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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“by the preliminary decree “the merits of the case are certainly determined and the rights of the parties concluded; nor should such decree be controlled or revised unless upon appeal or writ of error. The only question which could properly arise on the report of the commissioners would be as to the conformity of the division with the rules settled by the decree, and as such would arise upon the acts of the commissioners.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Campbell v. Tufts“We are unable to follow the construction placed on the McFarland decision in Pfeffer v. Meissner, ... as we think the case held directly opposite to the effect there given it. This is made clear by White v. Mitchell ... in which Justice Stayton again held the initial decree was conclusive.”
