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.

1. ““The deposition in the hands of the commissioner is just as much beyond the control of the parties as though the same had been filed in court. When filed in court, the party on whose motion-the deposition was taken is not obliged to read the same in evidence unless he cl ooses, but he cannot prevent the other party from reading it as part of the latter's case. So, when a deposition has been taken before the commissioner, the party moving therein may ignore it, — that is, may refuse to further deal witli the deposition on his own behalf; but he cannot deprive the other party, who participated in the taking thereof, of the right to have the deposition returned into court in order that he may adopt it, and read it as part of his evidence.””
