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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The second subdivision of the section authorizes the plaintiff to apply to the court for judgment in other actions wherein the defendant has made default, ‘upon the,like proof.’ . . . 'The words “upon the like proof,’ contained therein, evidently moan upon proof of the facts required to be shown in subd. 1 ■of the section, which confers authority upon the clerk to enter judgment in certain cases on default. We do not think subd. 2 requires that such proofs be filed. There is no necessity that they should be filed, because they are made- in court, and their sufficiency is determined by the court in the first instance.” See, also, Mitchell v. Rolison, 52 Wis. 155 , 8 N. W. 886 .”
