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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the evidence it was a proper question for the determination of the jury, as it is shown that he did operate it frequently and the defendant’s officers may have had knowledge thereof and acquiesced therein.
