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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is an additional reason why the action of this court indicated below should be taken. The abstract of the record submitted on behalf of appellant quite fails in several important particulars to comply with our Rule 37, viz., — a failure to show accurately the contents of the pleadings, the judgment rendered, notice of appeal therefrom and service of the notice of appeal. Simpson v. Occidental Building & Loan Ass’n., 45 Wyo. 425 , 19 Pac (2d) 958 ; Fryer v. Campbell, 46 Wyo. 491 , 28 Pac (2d) 475 .””
