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. ““Though no formal amendment was made or requested in the trial court, we think, as Mrs. Liebert was clearly entitled to her railroad fare or expense, and as the defendant was notified upon the trial of her intention to claim the same, we may properly treat the case as if an amendment to the bill of particulars, to accord with the special findings of the jury, was in fact made. Therefore, we hold that no substantial rights of the defendant have been prejudiced. An account or bill of particulars filed with a justice of the peace is not usually framed with much care or nicety, and the strict rules applicable to the construction of pleadings are not to control such, accounts or claims. Morally and legally the plaintiff below is entitled to the amount she recovered, and this court ought not, on account of amere technicality, which does not affect the substantial rights of the parties, to set the judgment aside.””
