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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . mere generality of allegation (Meagher v. Morgan, 3 Kan. 372 ), or conclusion of fact (Gilmore v. Norton, 10 Kan. 491 ; L. L. & G. Rld. Co. v. Leahy, 12 Kan. 124 ; Commrs of Saline Co. v. Young, 18 Kan. 440 ; McPherson v. Kingsbaker, 22 Kan. 646 ), do not render the petition insufficient. Indeed, in an early case (Stewart v. Balderston, 10 Kan. 131 ) it was said that as against a demurrer, in the absence of a motion to make definite and certain, everything stated in the petition should be taken as true, whether well pleaded or not. It must be held, therefore, that in this respect the demurrer was properly overruled.” (p. 302.)”
