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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . A new trial shall not be granted as to any issues in a case unless on the pleadings and all the evidence offered at the trial and on the motion for a new trial the court shall be of the opinion that the verdict or decision is wrong in whole or in some material part. . . .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Under the former practice the question was whether or not the newly discovered evidence was of such strength and character that it probably would have compelled a different decision. (Sexton v. Lamb, 27 Kan. 432 .) Now the court is required to go further and consider the whole case, including the newly discovered evidence, and determine whether or not the verdict or decision is wrong.” (p. 361.)”
