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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The true test of identity of ‘causes of action,’ as that term is used in connection with the plea of former adjudication, is the identity of the facts essential to their maintenance.... The authorities agree that when the same evidence supports both the present and the former cause of action, the two causes of action are identical....” Thus, if appellant’s claim is based upon evidence of new and independent delinquencies, there can be no such identity.”
