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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“that statutory language identical to Ark. Stat.Ann. § 27-901 included only actions involving ‘bodily injury, or damage of a physical character, but [did] not extend to torts which do not directly affect the person, but only the feelings or reputation, such as malicious prosecution.’ 41 Ark. at 298 (emphasis added).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The injuries as alleged to the Mutual Industrial Insurance Company were all torts in the nature of slander, libel, malicious prosecution, fraudulent conspiracy to injure and destroy business, etc., etc. Actions growing out of wrongs of this nature would not survive, but were peculiar to the Mutual Industrial Insurance Company, and died when it went out of existence. The causes of action that survive are assignable; those that do not survive are not assignable. 4 Cyc. 23. Now the causes of action that survive are those “for wrongs done to the person or property of another.” Section 6285, Kirby’s Digest. The statute means injuries of a physical character to actual, visible, and tangible property, and not to property rights or interests which in their nature are invisible and intangible.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A]bsent an infirmity of constitutional dimensions in th[e] law, it is not for a federal court to say that a rule established by [a state] ... is unwise.”
