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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Leave to amend a pleading- during the trial is ordinarily a matter of discretion, but an.amendment to.conform to the proof should be allowed when a mistake appears and the amendment will not prejudice the adverse party. The plaintiff would not have been taken by surprise if the amendment had been allowed, for he gave the testimony which made it proper.” (p. 817.)”
