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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The constitution of this state confers the power to issue, hear, and determine this writ, upon the supreme and circuit courts. But the legislature, though it cannot inhibit or restrict those courts in the exercise of this power, may confer the power upon other judicial courts or officers, under such limitations and restrictions as it may deem proper. Accordingly the legislature has . . . made provision for the issuing, hearing, .and determining of the' writ, by any judge of the supreme, circuit, or county court, in vacation, and has prescribed the mode of procedure in such cases.” [Bagnall v. Ableman, 4 Wis. 163, 167 .]”
