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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was improper for Duncan to base his findings upon the report and findings of the former master, Northup. The infants were not parties to the cause when testimony was taken and report was made by Northup, and the infants had a right to appear by their guardian ad litem upon the taking of testimony before Duncan and to cross-examine the witnesses. The testimony taken before the former master, Northup, was as to these minors taken in a cause to which they were not at the time parties, and consequently was as to them wholly ex parte and inadmissible.””
