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 87 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““secure a new trial for some technical error or mistake which could have been corrected had attention been called to it at the trial; and counsel should still perform their duty to the court, and call attention to obviously unintentional misstatements and verbal errors in the charge to the jury, that the same may be corrected, if they are deemed at all likely to be misleading. Of course, this does not apply to instructions on some controlling proposition of law, but to such misstatements of fact or technical inaccuracies' in matters of law or fact as are often likely to creep into a charge orally delivered to the jury.””
