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.

1. ““It is settled by the decisions of this court, that 'the costs recovered by the judgment are due to the judgment plaintiff, and it is his right to control and receive the money so recovered’; and that ‘a judgment in favor of a party for costs is, therefore, as much his own property and under his own control as a judgment for a debt sued for’ (Armsworth v. Scotten, 29 Ind. 495 ; Hays v.. Boyer, 59 Ind. 341 ; Miller v. The State, ex rel., 61 Ind. 503 ; and Goodwin v. Smith, 68 Ind. 301 ). If a judgment for costs is a ‘judgment for money’, and it surely is, then, by the express terms of the statute, it bears interest ‘from the date of the return of the verdict or finding of the court, until the same shall be satisfied’; and the judgment plaintiff, in an action upon his judgment, is as much entitled to recover interest upon his judgment for costs as he is upon his judgment debt.””

2. ““Interest on judgments for money, hereafter rendered, shall be from the date of the return of the verdict or finding of the court, until the same shall be satisfied, at the rate per cent, agreed upon by the parties in the original contract, not exceeding six per cent., and if there is no contract by the parties, at the rate of six dollars a year on one hundred dollars.””
