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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court or judge may upon good cause shown, extend the time for making a case and the time in which the case may be served. * * * ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It will be noticed that the first part of the section gives authority to the court or judge to grant an extension,of time. The last part gives authority to the judge who tried the case to sign and settle, notwithstanding the fact that his term of office may. have expired. The reason for granting this power to the individual who has ceased to be an officer is perfectly apparent. He has knowledge of what occurred at the trial, while his successor in office may know nothing about it. The authority granted by the terms of the statute is limited to the one duty of settling and signing the case because of this necessity. Whether an order for extending the time for making and serving a ease should be granted depends on circumstances arising after the trial, and having no necessary connection with it. As to these circumstances, and as to the propriety of making such an order, the new judge has substantially as good opportunities for deciding understandingly as the old. In the absence of any strong reason for holding-otherwise, we think the language used by the Legislature should be given its usueiI and ordinary meaning, and that in terms it gives the court, or the judge of the court, power to grant the extension. That means the court in session or the judge who is in fact in possession of the office.””
