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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"There is no rule of law which requires, under the circumstances of this case, that a plaintiff voluntarily deliver evidence to the defendant when it has not been requested. It is well settled that a defendant is not entitled to a new trial because he is taken by surprise by evidence, in the absence of showing that he could not have learned of the evidence by using proper diligence before trial. Worthy v. Morrison , 17 Ala. App. 67 , 81 So. 845 (1919)."”
