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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The question in this case is this: Did the court err in allowing the plaintiffs to have the defendant, Keenan, called, and, he not appearing, dismiss his appeal, and render judgment for the plaintiffs affirming and repeating the judgment of the justice? We think it is very plain that the court erred herein. From authority given above, Keenan's appeal simply brought the case for a new trial into the circuit court. The appeal worked that result. The plaintiffs were still under obligations to prove their case.”
