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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[W]hen the facts show that a servant has committed an assault upon an innocent invitee at the time of and as an incident to the execution of a duty which he was hired to perform, the necessary authority [to use force] is implied by operation of law so as to hold the master liable for the servant’s tortious method of performing the duty delegated to him, even though the servant’s act was willful and unauthorized or forbidden.” (emphasis added).”
