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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A number of persons paid personal taxes under protest, claiming the assessment to be illegal. Claims against the county for the amounts so paid were assigned to Wm. T. Sinclair, who on August 15, 1908, demanded their repayment, and two days later brought an action for their recovery. The county demurred to the petition, the demurrer was sustained, and the plaintiff appeals. “The latest of the payments was made September 19, 1905, and as no demand upon the county for the return of any payment was made until August 15, 1908, the claims were all barred by the failure to present them within two years (Gen. Stat. 1909, § 2123), uniess they were saved by these facts. . . .””
