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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Appointment of clerk pro tempore.— In case of the death, resignation, absence, inability, or refusal to serve of any of said clerks, the chief justice, or the presiding justice of the court in which the same occurs, may appoint a clerk pro tempore, who shall hold his office until the clerk shall have returned or the inability shall have been removed or another clerk shall have been appointed to fill such vacancy and shall have qualified.” (Emphasis added.)”

  2. ““[although the office of the clerk of the superior court is clearly of that class to which the governor’s constitutional authority relates, he is precluded from making an appointment of a temporary nature in the instant case for the reason that the legislature has provided for another custodian of such power, namely, the presiding justice.” Id. at 97-98 , 151 A.2d at 374 .”
