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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There was no issue in the case making any proof on the subject of the notice necessary; the allegation of the petition, that the respondents had given such notice, was not denied by the answer, and it therefore stood confessed. The answer denied ‘any knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief whether or not a notice was served on them as required by law.’ This averment proposed to make an issue as to the lawfulness merely of the notice, and not as to the fact of notice The fact being admitted, there was no issue for the jury; and, as a consequence, no testimony needed.””
