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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘Tin* specification as to tlie west abutment, which is the one that fell, is that it shall he 7x20 feet at the base, 3x10 feet at the toil. 20 feet high, and containing fiO cubic yards. It is definite as to dimensions and form, and calls for a four-sided structure, sloping in presumably on all shies, The structure actually erected and accepted by the plaintiff had wing walls at the ends, the slone of which were interlocked with those of the 'main part of the abutment. The bond executed by the defendants requires them to keep the work in repair.””
