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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This statute was intended to give the [trial court] great discretion in the admission of testimony; and in order that justice may be administered in all cases, it has materially changed the rigid [common law] rule which had hitherto obtained, in regard to the admission of evidence. It is believed that the discretion thus confided to the [trial court] was intended not to be a subject of revision by the appellate court, unless it be made to appear that the discretion has been abused to defeat the ends of justice. (Emphasis ours.)”
