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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not probable that any one, much less the attorney general, would concern himself about a stream which has been so long abandoned for-all purposes of navigation, and completely obstructed in so many places, and not needed or used for such purposes, and neither the public nor individuals have suffered any injury or inconvenience thereby. When any one in good faith shall have the means of using this river for the legitimate purposes of navigation, and shall desire to use the same for such purposes, it will be time enough for him or the attorney general to complain; and the courts of law will afford,, in such an exigency, an ample remedy. . . . “We do not think that the circuit court abused its discretion in dissolving the injunction.” . . .”
