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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our statute is very liberal on the subject of permitting amendments, and we think that whenever an amendment is asked by either party during the progress of the cause, and the facts are made to appear showing that the Interest ol the party asking for the amendment requires that the amendment should be made, the court should always permit the amendment, under such terms as would be just to the adverse party, unless the party asking Cor the amendment has been guilty of laches on his part; but in all such cases a large discretion must be given to (he court to which the application is made, whose duty it is to see that no injustice is done to either party if it can be prevented.””
