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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This procedural rule, dating back to the Code of Practice of 1870, Article 563, has been consistently applied to mean that when a trial court grants a new trial or a rehearing, which amounts to a setting aside of the former judgment, it cannot proceed immediately to render another and different judgment. The case must again be set for trial or hearing, because the only question presented for decision on a rule for a new trial or rehearing is whether the same shall be granted or refused and nothing more. State ex rel. Shreveport Cotton Oil Company v. Blackman, Judge, 110 La. 266 , 34 So. 438 (La.1903); Jacobs v. Lagrante, 9 La.App. 409 , 119 So. 538 (La.App. 1st Cir.1929); Loomis v. Connecticut General Life Ins. Co., 160 So.2d 270 (La.App. 4th Cir.1964); and Pickering v. Hibernia National Bank, 306 So.2d 469 (La.App. 4th Cir.1975). ””
