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.

““The order is, no doubt, appealable under Laws of 1895, ch. 212, sec. 1, sub. 2. It is an order affecting a substantial right, made upon a summary application after judgment. This was so held in Johnson v. Eldred, 13 Wis. 482 , under a statute in the same words, and has been uniformly followed since.””
