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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The assignments of error are defective because they merely state that the judgment should hake been for the defendant instead of the plaintiffs, and that neither the complaint nor the findings state any good cause of action. They fail to point out any ‘particular error asserted and intended to be urged,’ as is required by the rule.””
