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.
““A defendant has no right to continue to'present the same defense by different pleas (Parks v. Holmes, 2 Ill. 554), nor may he repeatedly refer to the decision of the court, the legal sufficiency of the same defense, under the guise of an amended plea. The defendant having taken leave to amend his fourth plea, waived his right to assign error on the action of the court, in sustaining the • demurrer thereto.””
