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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The authority of chancery courts to grant appeals from decrees overruling demurrers is contained in section 34, Code 1906, which provides that ‘such appeals must be applied for and bond given within ten days after the demurrer is overruled, if in term time.’ Statutes limiting the time within which appeals shall be taken are both mandatory and jurisdictional, and must be strictly complied with. The court is without power to ingraft any exception on the statute. When the statute is not complied with, the supreme court is without jurisdiction of the cause, which will be dismissed, either on motion of appellee or by this court of its own motion. This court is without power to make any other order. 2 Ency. Pl. & Prac. 239-243, and notes.””
