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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Pleading the common counts is still sufficient in this state finder the code as it was at common law. If the defendant desired a full statement of the facts constituting the plaintiff’s cause of action he should have moved to make the petition more definite and certain. (Meagher v. Morgan, 3 Kan. 372 , 87 Am. Dec. 476 ; Water Power Co. v. McMurray, 24 id. 62; Barons v. Brown, 25 id. 410.) He failed to do this. Therefore the plaintiff was left at large in making his proof.””
