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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence was all received without any objection that it was not .admissible under the allegations of the complaint. The court was therefore at liberty to grant any relief asked for in the complaint, whether the plaintiff was entitled to such relief on the ground of mutual mistake or on the ground of mistake on the part of the respondent and fraud on the part of the appellant.” (p. 179.)”
