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.
““It may not be improper to take some further notice of the first assignment for error. In the case of Hughes v. Prewitt, 5 Tex. 264 , it was decided by this court that a deputy clerk was not an officer authorized by law to take depositions; but the Legislature did confer the authority by act of 9th of February, 1856 (Paschal’s Digest, art. 496).””
