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.
““Ordered, that whereas, it appears from the suggestion's of the counsel foithe appellees, made in open court, and accompanied with a verified petition and affidavits, that the appellees conceive that they will have just cause for application for leave to file a hill of review, and to proceed with such bill, this court reserves to the appellee liberty to file such application and proceed: thereon, and on such bill of review in the circuit court as the circuit court may determine; and this order shall form a part of the mandate in this cause, which shall issue forthwith.””
