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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The requirement of rule 11 (11 C. C. A. cii., 47 Fed. vi.), that the assignment of errors shall he filed ‘with the clerk of the court below, with the petition for the writ of error or appeal,’ was designed to bring into the record at that time a separate and particular statement ‘of each error asserted and intended to be urged’; and to a large extent the rule is a nullity if, under general and indefinite specifications like those quoted, the appellant may be able afterwards to bring forward objections to the decree or judgment, which, when error was assigned, had not been thought of.””
