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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This, it seems to us, is the meaning of the provision of the Code on this subject, and when it provides that, when either party requires it, the judge may exclude from the court room any witness, it is a matter addressed to his discretion. “The word require means simply the right of the party to make the motion to ask for the exclusion of the witness, and is not a demand that the court is compelled to comply with.””
