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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In this case the complainant did testify on the issues made; he had all the rights the law could bestow. At his death, his testimony in the form of deposition was a part of the record in the cause, and through it he spoke in his own behalf as a witness as effectually as if he had been living. The advantage of the living over the dead intended to be guarded against by the statute, does not obtain in this case, nor was a case like the present contemplated in the passage of the law. Lavender was a competent witness wilder the circumstances. (Emphasis supplied.)”
