The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““The court found that the deposit for costs had been exhausted, and made an order requiring- the plaintiff to make an additional deposit. The court found that the plaintiff had been notified of said order by registered mail, with a certified copy of said order to the attorney for plaintiff inclosed. The court found that no compliance had been made with the order. These findings are not even, disputed in the motion to vacate the judgment. The motion of the plaintiff to vacate said order gives no reason for not complying with said order, but relies solely upon the fact that the court was without jurisdiction to make the same. The motion, in so far as it states ‘that no notice had been given as required by law,’ states a mere conclusion, and does not attempt to state any of the facts, or deny that the plaintiff had received a certified copy of the order, nor in any way attempt to justify or excuse themselves for not complying with said order. The court did not commit error in sustaining the demurrer to said motion.””
