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.
““. . . it is obvious that the section was amended for the very purpose of restricting appeals. The right formerly ex isted from an order striking out a demurrer on motion as frivolous, independent of the right from the order sustaining or overruling the demurrer. Therefore, though the effect of the two orders is substantially the same, if the issue is brought to a hearing on regular notice for the first day of the term, general or special, an appeal may be taken from the order sustaining or overruling the demurrer. Tf a party sees fit to resort to the more summary method, by motion to strike out as frivolous, the order entered thereon will not be appealable.””
