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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It must be regarded as settled that (1) where an appeal is allowed in open court, and perfected during the term at which the decree or judgment appealed from was rendered, no citation is necessary; (2) where the appeal is allowed at the term of the decree or judgment, but not perfected until after the term, a citation is necessary to bring in the parties; but if the appeal be docketed here at our next ensuing term, or the record reaches the clerk’s hands seasonably for that term, and legal excuse exists for lack of docketing, a citation may be issued by leave of this court, although the time for taking the appeal has elapsed; (3) where the appeal is allowed at a term subsequent to that of the decree or judgment, a citation is necessary, but may be issued properly returnable, even after the expiration of the time for taking the ■ appeal, if the allowance of the appeal were before; (4) but a citation is one of the necessary elements of an appeal taken after the term, and if it is not issued and served before the end of the ensuing term of this court, and not waived, the appeal becomes inoperative.””

Bingham v. Morris, 7 Cranch, 99 [ 3 L. Ed. 281 ], shows that, if the transcript of the record is filed before the motion for dismissal, the motion will not'be granted.””
