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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Again it has been held that mere threats of a criminal prosecution do not constitute duress unless there is a threat of immediate and unlawful imprisonment. This doctrine has been also modified, and it is held that the guilt or innocence of the wronged party, or the lawfulness or unlawfulness of the threats, are immaterial.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Greene v. Bates“The rule is that mere personal actions, such as for slander, libel, assault and battery, false imprisonment, etc., die with the party, but, when the injury affects the estate rather than the person, the action for it may be assigned, and the purchaser can prosecute the action.”
