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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An adjourned term is but a continuation — a part of the regular term. Giving the district court power to hold an adjourned tejm gives it power, not to adjourn from day to day, but to adjourn over a length of time over intervening obstacles to the holding of court. It seems to contemplate just such an exigency as the present, where the business in one county is incomplete, and yet the day fixed for the commencement of tlie term in another has arrived.. The time of such adjournment is not restricted, unless it is deemed to be by the commencement of the succeeding regular term in that county.” (The State v. Montgomery, 8 Kan. 351 .) See, also, Sawyer v. Bryson, 10 Kan. 199 ; and In re Millington, 24 id. 224 .”
