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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he stenographer’s, notes are not the compelling and supreme authority as to what transpired during the trial . . . [I]n settling the cases on appeal the first authority is that of counsel themselves in agreeing to what occurred at the trial as to the evidence, as to the charge, and otherwise, and when they do not agree the judge must settle what really occurred. . . . The stenographer’s notes will be of valuable aid to refresh his memory, but the stenographer does not displace the judge in any of his functions .... We must repeat again that stenographers are a helpful aid, but are not indispensable.”
