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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the well-settled doctrine that where a bond is given under the authority of a law, whatever is included in the bond and which is not required by the law, must be read out of it, and, whatever is not expressed and ought to have been incorporated, must be read as if inserted into it, it follows that the words found in the bond by which it is made payable to the judges of the civil district court, must be left out, and the words to the succession representatives, must be deemed as embodied in their place.””
