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 proffered testimony of the appellant to the effect that he had delivered to the defendant’s intestate a box of money to be deposited in his safe was a ‘transaction’ with the intestate within the meaning of the proviso to section 2 of the Schedule to the Constitution, and inadmissible for that reason. The witness’ knowledge that the boN was in the safe was not competent evidence because it was dei ived solely from the transaction between the parties.””
