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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where issues of fact are submitted to the Circuit Court, and the finding is general, nothing -is open to review * * * except the rulings of the Circuit Court in the progress of the trial, and the phrase ‘rulings of the court in the progress of the trial’ does not include the general finding of the Circuit Court nor the conclusions of the Circuit Court embodied in such general finding.””
