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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(1) Any firsthand observer of the giving of the former testimony may testify to its purport from his unaided memory. ... (2) A firsthand observer may testify to the purport of the former testimony by using a memorandum, such as the judge’s counsel’s, or the stenographer’s notes, or the stenographer’s transcript, to refresh the present memory of the witness. (3) In most states the magistrate’s report of the testimony at a preliminary hearing, and the official stenographer’s transcribed notes of the testimony at the trial of a case, civil or criminal, are admitted, when properly authenticated, as evidence of the fact and purport of the former testimony either by statute or under the hearsay exception for official written statements. There is generally no rule of preference for these reports, however, and any observer, including the stenographer himself, may be called to prove the former testimony without producing the official report or transcript. (4) A witness who has made written notes or memoranda of the testimony at the time of the former trial, or while the facts were fresh in his recollection, and who will testify that he knows that they are correct may use the notes as memoranda of past recollection recorded.” (Emphasis in original).”
