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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In Bauder v. Tyrrel, 59 Cal. 99 , it was held that it was not necessary for the notice of intention to move for a new trial to contain in terms a notice of intention to move that the decision should be vacated; that the order granting a new trial does of itself vacate the decision. “This case was cited and followed in Heinlen v. Heilbron, 71 Cal. 557 [ 12 Pac. 673 ], in which the notice was, that defendants would ‘make and submit to said court above named a motion for a new trial of said cause’, designating the grounds of the motion. If, therefore, as was held in Bauder v. Tyrrel, 59 Cal. 99 , it was not necessary that the notice in terms included the vacation of the decision, the notice in the case at bar is sufficient, and that part of the notice referring to the vacation of the judgment may be treated as surplusage; for if that part of the notice were stricken out, it would leave the notice precisely within the case of Heinlen v. Heilbron, 71 Cal. 557 [ 12 Pac. 673 ].””

2. ““It was defendant Moulton’s duty to have listed his land subject to the mortgage, while it was equally the duty of the plaintiff to have returned his mortgage security for taxation, and Mr. Moulton would have been liable only for the tax upon any excess of the assessed value of the land over the amount of the mortgage.””
