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.

1. “We also hold that in future cases, if the clerk of the trial court fails to satisfy the statutory requirements as to the bill of costs, the attorney of record desiring an appeal must make a motion in writing to the trial judge, ... compelling production of the cost bill from the trial clerk. [Id. at 452].”

2. “A written petition for an appeal shall not be necessary to its validity, but filing in the office of the clerk of the supreme court a transcript of the record of the case in which the appeal is taken shall confer jurisdiction on the supreme court to try and dispose of the case. Where there is no petition for the appeal, it shall be considered to have been taken when the costs in the lower court and the fee required by section 25-7-3 were paid to the clerk of the lower court or from the time of filing the transcript of record in the office of the clerk of the supreme court.”
