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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is one of the fundamentals of the law that, where tho record of a court of general jurisdiction shows that it assumed to exercise jurisdiction over persons or subject-matter, that in the absence or silence of tho record as to any fact showing the acquisition of jurisdiction, or how it was acquired, that then jurisdiction is to be presumed; for tho rule is that ‘nothing shall be intended to be out of the jurisdiction of a superior court, but which specially appears to be so. ’ ””
