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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 1533 of the Gode of 1880 provides that ‘the return of the officer serving any process may in the same action be shown to be untrne by either of the parties,’ and removes all ground of objection to a proceeding by writ of error cvram nobis, or motion as a substitute for it, before the court which has rendered judgment on a false return of service of a summons to vacate such judgment. ’ ’”
