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.

1. ““When an appeal from a decree in a suit in equity which is to be tried anew on the testimony, and no-transcript thereof has been sent up, the only question that can be considered is: Does the complaint state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of suit? Howe v. Patterson, 5 Or. 353 ; Wyatt v. Wyatt, 31 Or. 531 ( 49 Pac. 855 ); Morrison’s Estate, 48 Or. 612 ( 87 Pac. 1043 ). The sufficiency of the complaint, though not now challenged, is never waived, arid may be objected to at the trial in this court, and, this being so, the motion to dismiss should be denied, and it is so ordered.””

2. ““Such evidence might have been identified by the judge who tried this suit and rendered the decree herein, and he undoubtedly could, by a proper certificate, have made the judgment-roll in the former suit, if it was received in evidence, a part of the transcript in this suit: Section 827, R. & C. Comp. [Section 838, Or. L.]; Hume v. Rogue River Packing Co., 51 Or. 237 ( 83 Pac. 391 , 92 Pac. 1065 , 96 Pac. 865 ). * * It is sufficient to say that, unless it is identified and certified in the manner indicated, it will not be examined.””
