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 70 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The pleading, of course, does use the words ‘malicious’ and ‘maliciously, ’ but these words, standing alone, are not sufficient to charge malice in fact. The rule as stated in Henry v. Moberly, 6 Ind.App. 490 [ 33 N.E. 981, 983, 984 ], is as follows : . . . ‘When the complaint discloses that the occasion was privileged, the allegation that the language was false and malicious is not sufficient, but in such case the complaint must further show that the defendant acted maliciously in publishing it.’ ” (Loche v. Mitchell, supra, at page 603.)”
