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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think the court was right in its first ruling that a settlement of the matters could only be shown provided it was properly pleaded. Bouvier defines ‘settlement’ as the same thing as ‘payment.’ [Citations omitted.] It is the general rule that proof of payment can only be made when the issue is presented by proper pleadings, and that it is never admissible under a general denial.””
