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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of the opinion that it was within the discretion of the court to receive the oral testimony of these witnesses as to facts affecting their own credibility, and their testimony, as set forth in the bill of exceptions, is such as we think amply supports the finding of the court that they were not credible witnesses. It follows that the court did not err in denying either of the appellant's applications for a change of venue.””
