Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This requirement has left the record of the testimony sought to be elicited in an unsatisfactory condition. It is difficult in most cases to present to the court explicitly in the form of questions the exact . proof offered. Where the questions do not clearly show the nature of the testimony an offer of proof ought to be received. In fact, the precise question involved can thus be more clearly presented to the trial court and preserved in the record for review. We approve the practice of making the tender.” (Page 701.)”

They ought positively to be shown or necessarily deduced from the facts and circumstances detailed.” (Eagon v. Eagon, 60 Kan. 697, 705 , 57 Pac. 942 .)”
