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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ Plea ISTo. 4 was evidently framed with reference to the provisions of section 3299 of the'Code, but it does not aver that the lot, which the defendant was induced to purchase ’by the alleged misrepresentations of the plaintiff’s agent, was not worth, at the date of his contract, what he agreed to give for it, but avers that it was worthless at the time the plea was filed. That averment is not sufficient. His damages, if any, are to' be ascertained and fixed as of the date of the contract, the time the fraud is alleged to have been committed, and not as of the date his plea was filed.””
