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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“" There is no statement that the document certified is a transcript of the proceedings nor a transcript of the record. Counsel for plaintiffs in error refer to ,§417 of the Code, which declares what shall constitute the record in a cause, and urge that as it includes ‘ all material acts and proceedings of the court,’ and this certificate of the clerk contains these words, this should be deemed sufficient; but that section does not contemplate that the clerk shall determine what acts and proceedings are material. . . . The clerk’s certificate, should show the fact that the document which he furnishes for the purpose of a review is a full and correct transcript of the record and proceedings of the court in the cause to which it relates. The certificate in this case does not comply substantially with this requirement. The statutes are very plain, and there is little excuse for a failure to comply with them.””
