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.
““In such case you may go beyond what would be a compensation for the loss of marriage, for her wounded pride, and the mental and physical suffering she has sustained on account of the breach of the marriage contract, and give such damages as may be just and fair, and for mental suffering, injury to reputation, loss of virtue, and sense of disgrace sustained by plaintiff on account of such seduction. In such case you may give a fair compensation for this additional injury.””
