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.

1. ““The court is satisfied with its original decision upon the merits of the case, and will not grant a rehearing in order to give those merits further, consideration. To grant a rehearing upon the pretense of reconsidering the merits of the ease, but really to revive the petitioner’s right of appeal, would be the employment of an unworthy fiction. The record should show the true purpose for which the rehearing was sought and granted.””

2. ““From this remark it seems to follow that the Supreme Court considered that the District Court would be justified in granting a review of its own decree for the purpose of allowing that decree to be appealed from, and although the application was presented after the time for appeal was expired.””
