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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not usual, or in conformity with proioer practice, for a defendant, without previous special leave of the court, to file several separate pleas, or to present several distinct and independent defenses, in one plea to the suit, for the reason that the defense proper for a plea is such as reduces the cause or some distinct part of it to a single point or issue; the object of the plea being to save litigants the expense and trouble of going into the evidence and a trial at large.’’”
