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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Cases may arise where the proof of residence in a distant state at the very time, and of an absolute location there, would be so strong and conclusive as to render-it entirely apparent that no act of diligence would be of any avail; and if the affidavit here had stated positively and distinctly that the defend ant was at the time not only a resident of the state of California, but wan then actually living in that state, there would be ground for claiming that due diligence would be unavailing.””
