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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The averments in the declaration, and proofs offered, if they can be made, show a most iniquitous abuse of legal process to extort money; and' courts of justice had better be abolished if they can afford no redress for such oppression. The court therefore erred in the rejection of the evidence offered. For the errors indicated the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.” (Italics ours.)”
