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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We cannot think the legislature intended to deprive a party of his right to an appeal because not taken within a time fixed from circumstances beyond his control. Where it is within the power of a party to have his case settled, and he does not do so, he may well be held bound thereby; but where the delay is caused by officers of the court over whom he has no control, and without fault or want of due diligence on his part, we are of opinion that a settlement made after the period of three months will be good.””
