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 sole ground for exclusion was that the appellant appeared to be some years older than he claimed. * * * This question has been presented to this court in a number of cases under varying circumstances and with varying results. [Cases cited.] “Naturally the value of an opinion of this kind depends upon the circumstances. The age of one of tender years is undoubtedly susceptible to a more accurate and dependable estimate than that of a mature person. Also, if one claims to be of a certain age and the estimate, reasonably based upon his appearance and physical characteristics, is higher or lower not by only one or two but many years, it may have a very substantial weight, whereas, if the discrepancy is only slight, the estimate would have but little value. * * * ””
