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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Having disposed of the foregoing, it appears that the only things in the record that we are at liberty to examine are the pleadings, the instructions of the court, the verdict of the jury, the judgment, and the motion for new trial. Without the evidence in the record, the' instructions cannot be examined, and the presumption necessarily follows that the instructions were fully authorized and warranted by the evidence introduced. An examination of the record proper shows that the court had jurisdiction of the parties and the subject-matter; that the issues were properly submitted to the jury, and the verdict returned was within the issues; that the judgment entered on the verdict was authorized by the pleadings and seems to be regular in every respect.””
