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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Again: If the notice be viewed but as an incident in the proceeding, coming from one party to another, not as an implied mandate, but for the purpose of giving knowledge of some step in the case, it is still essential that the notice should be signed by the petitioners. The notice must come from an authentic source — that is, from the petitioners.””
