The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““Prior to the adoption of the rule above mentioned, the court was continually confronted with the question as to the time thus fixed by the statute. We held in Samuelson v. Tribune Publishing Company, 41 Wyo. 487 , 287 P. 83 , that the statute contemplates that the record on appeal shall be transmitted ‘forthwith’ after the expiration of the twenty days above mentioned. To make the time specific, so that no one might err, we thereafter adopted rule 35, effective January 1, 1931. The rule merely interprets and applies the statute above mentioned. Instead of determining each time as to when is the proper time with the contemplation of the statute, the court has fixed the time once and for all.””
