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.
““If no appeal is perfected or supersedeas allowed, provision must be made for the payment of the judgment. This may be done either by the levy of a tax or by a warrant on the county treasury. In case the commissioners delay or refuse to make provision for payment, a writ of mandamus will lie to compel them to act.””
