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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a defendant controverts the allegations of a complaint by his answer and also sets up facts intended to constitute a complete defense to the cause of action stated, he thereby presents a theory of the case that is usually inconsistent with the plaintiff’s hypothesis, and the adoption of either legal principle by the court, after a trial of the issue without a jury necessarily implies a rejection of the theory of the adverse party. If the findings of fact in such a case conform to the proposition, as evidenced by the material controverted averments of either party, and aré adequate to uphold the judgment based thereon, the conclusion reached, as the result of a judicial investigation, is sufficient in law, though no findings are made' in respect to the theory of one of the parties: Lewis v. First Nat. Bank, 46 Or. 182 ( 78 Pac. 990 ); Jennings v. Frazier, 46 Or. 470 ( 80 Pac. 1011 .) ””
