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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The principle is well settled in this state and elsewhere, that when it is perfectly apparent upon the face of a written instrument that a mere clerical error has been made, and when it is apparent from the face of the instrument what the correction should be to make the instrument what it would have been if the error had not occurred, courts will correct such error by construction, that is, they will treat the instrument the same, and give it the same legal effect and operation, as though the error had not been made.””
