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.
““Under this authority, the purpose of the law is accomplished where a good and sufficient bond is approved and filed; nor is it important whether the insufficiency of the original instrument consists in some merely formal omission, or whether the defect complained of be a failure to comply with the most material requirement of the statute. The approval of the court which tried the cause of the imperfect obligation, given in good faith, and the transmission thereof to the appellate tribunal, entitles appellant to the benefit of the corrective statute.””
