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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ Our tax laws appear to be based on the views of the Supreme Court of the United States just quoted. The notification or monition provided by chapter 115, sec. 2, of the Acts of 1921, is that ‘said suit shall be conducted in accordance with the practice in Courts of Chancery in this State. ’ That is, a summons shall issue as to those named as defendants or publication shall be made for them, as the circumstances indicate.””
