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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The writ operates to remove the case into that court for a trial de novo. It has long been settled in this state that, if the judge to whom a petition is presented deems the statement of facts therein sufficient to show an excuse for failing to take an appeal, and accordingly orders the issuance of the writ, the case is thereupon to be treated as effectually removed to the circuit court for a new trial; and that court will not afterwards entertain a motion to dismiss on account of defects in the petition, even though the petition does not in fact show a good reason for the failure to appeal.””
