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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A petition for the pavement of a street in the city of Syracuse ‘with vitrified paving brick, manufactured by the New York Brick and Paving Company, of Syracuse, N. Y.,’ and all the proceedings had thereon by the common council, are in violation of the provisions of the city Charter requiring the work to be let to the lowest bidder, and are void, when it appears that the company referred to has a complete monopoly upon the disposal of such brick, and that there are other persons or corporations who manufacture and sell vitrified brick for paving purposes, equal in quality to the particular kind specified.” (Syllabus.)”
