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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The court Avas also asked to instruct the jury that the demandant Avas estopped from prosecuting this action by his agreement in his previous suit to submit it upon a statement of facts. In every view which can be taken of an estoppel, that agreement cannot be such here, because the demandant does not make in this case any denial of a fact admitted by him in that case. He, rests his. title here'to the demanded premises upon the same proofs whioh Avere then agreed by him to be facts. This he has a right to do. His agreement only estopped him from denying that he had submitted him self to be nonsuited, or that he was not liable to its conse quences.”
