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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The suit having been brought by plaintiff in the district court on a demand within its'jurisdiction, the court had jurisdiction of defendants’ cross-bill to recover the overpayment, although it was less than $500 in amount [citing certain cases]. If appellant’s contention under this assignment were correct, a defendant could not plead a payment or any counterclaim to an action brought against him in the district court, unless the amount of such payment or counterclaim exceeded $500.””
