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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The action was for a trespass in cutting down and removing pine trees,” etc. . . . “But as soon as the decision in Single v. Schneider became known, the legislature passed ch. 263, Laws of 1873, prescribing what should be the measure of damages for the wrongful cutting of timber [trees],” and changed “the rule laid down in that case.” Webster v. Moe, 35 Wis. 77 , 79.”
