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.

1. ““Bills of exception may be made and signed in any case tried before a justice of the peace, whether the action be tried by a jury or by the justice, and such bill may be signed at any time within ten' days from the day on which judgment is given in the action, and not thereafter.””

2. “‘•The procedure for appeal from the judgment of justice courts and for a review of such judgment as to law by bill of exceptions and petition in error are entirely different procedures and not in conflict. On appeal a bond is required to be given by appellant (section 5456, Revised Laws), and the appeal is completed by the filing and approval of '¡said bond (section 5457, Rev. Laws), which bond stays all further proceedings in the justice court, and ‘no notice of the appeal shall be required to be filed or served.’ A procedure under sections 5454, 5455, and 5456, does not require the execution of a bond, and the execution of the judgment of the justice of the peace courts is not stayed unless appellant executes a supersedeas bond. Plaintiff in error is also required to file a bill of exceptions and petition in error in the court by which the review is sought, to make a deposit for cost or execute a bond. * * *””
