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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is * * * alleged by respondent that whether the conduct * * * was such as to warrant the granting of a new trial was a matter of judicial discretion for the trial court, and that, that court having refused to grant a new trial, this court should not interfere. Of course, this is the general rule; but, where it is apparent that the trial court’s discretion has been abused, this court should not hesitate to interfere.””
