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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Section 574 does not expressly require that a party taking an appeal from a court of record to this court shall procure a transcript of the stenographer’s notes of the testimony to be certified and filed with the clerk of the court, but it seems to be the clear implication that the appellant should, at least, cause so much of the stenographer’s notes of the evidence and proceedings to be transcribed, certified and filed as may be pertinent to his appeal; otherwise, as there is no other provision for making it, there can be no such record in existence, and an order from this court or any judge thereof to certify up a transcript of the evidence would be futile. In this case it appears from the agreed statement of facts and admissions on the argument that no transcript of the evidence and proceedings in the district court were filed with the clerk thereof, and that there is technically no record of such proceedings.” (p. 491.)”
