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.
“"Accordingly, the semicolons between these various brackets do not have the effect suggested. They separate distinct sentences. " (Emphasis supplied.) Mills v. State Board of Equalization, 97 Mont. 13 , 33 P.2d 563, 570 . "* * * The clauses of the instant section are each as independent as the clauses of the example given, because of the fact that, although the predicate is expressed only once for the sake of brevity, it is eliptical to each of the sections set off by semicolons. "Again, Ward's `Sentence and Theme' (Scott, Foresman & Co., 1923), at page 331, says the semicolon `shows that two sentences, each of which should stand alone, have been combined into one sentence'; and continues, `A semicolon is used to show that what follows is grammatically independent, though closely related in thought.'" (Italics in original.) McLeod v. Nagle, 9 Cir., 48 F.2d 189, 190 .”
