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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is the duty oí the party excepting to call the attention of the court distinctly to the portions of the charge he excepts to, and this must he done before the cause is finally submitted to the jury, to the end that the court may have an opportunity to correct or explain the parts of the charge excepted to, if it seems proper to do so. The practice, which, it has been intimated at the bar, sometimes obtains, of taking a general exception to the whole charge, with leave to specify particular exceptions after the trial, is a plain violation of the letter a.nd spirit of the rule. The party who conceives that tile charge is erroneous in any respect, and remains silent, will not be heard ro point, out the error after the trial; and a general exception to the whole charge, any pari: of which is good law, is equivalent to silence. The rule is mandatory. Its enforcement does not rest in the discretion of the lower court.””
