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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Such evidence is not mere hearsay. Reputation is often admissible to prove a continued practice, when it would not be to prove a single act. It is often competent evidence of a continuing condition, or a continued repetition of the same or similar acts or practices, when it would be mere hearsay as proof of a single act or occurrence. Thus reputation is competent evidence of good or bad character, or solvency or insolvency, of custom, usage, etc. In all these cases the continued nature of the fact to he proved and the necessities of the case render competent evidence of reputation.””
