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 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the law imposes the duty upon the board to ascertain and pass upon the facts conferring jurisdiction upon it, a finding ■ and decision by it of the existence of those facts is final and conclusive. But, where, the law makes it an indispensable condition that a certain fact or facts exist before the board can act, and fails to clothe it with the power and machinery to ' find the facts, its determination is: not final and conclusive.” (Emphasis added)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The general rule is that, in the absence of statute or local practice otherwise, questions or findings of fact, in the inferior tribunal, are not reviewable on certiorari, and that evidence which is made a part of the record cannot be examined to determine whether or not it justified the findings on which the decision or judgment was made; nor will rulings on questions of fact, within the inferior tribunal’s jurisdiction, be reviewed. A finding or decision of the inferior tribunal, within its jurisdiction, on facts supported by competent and sub stantial evidence, is binding on the reviewing court .and will not be reviewed by it. * * .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Chairman Hunt of the Tax Commission practically conceded, at the hearing, that no true emergency existed but nevertheless the petition was thereafter allowed by the Commission. If the limitation statute is oppressive or unworkable, relief lies with the legislative department, as the members of the Commission have no right to shut their eyes to plain provisions of the statute.””
