Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our uniform rule is that, on an appeal from a decree which refuses, grants or continues a preliminary injunction, we will look only to see if there were any apparently reasonable grounds for the action of the court below, and we will not further consider the merits of the case or pass upon the reasons for or against such action, unless it is plain that no such' grounds existed or that the rules of law relied on are palpably wrong or clearly inapplicable: Commonwealth v. Katz, . 281 Pa. 287, 288 , 126 A. 765 ; Lesher v. Thomas S. Cassner Co., 285 Pa. 43, 44 , 131 A. 657 ; Murray v. Hill, 359 Pa. 540, 541 , 59 A. 2d 877 ; Cohen et al. v. A. M. Byers Company et al., 363 Pa. 618, 619 , 70 A. 2d 837 .””
