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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'of the cause as against him into the next Circuit Court of the United States to be held in the district where the suit is pending, ... and it shall thereupon be the duty of the State court ... to proceed no further in the cause as against the defendant so applying for its removal.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““In view of the fact that sometimes, in the progress of a cause, circumstances developed themselves which made such a transfer desirable, when at first it did not appear to be so, the right of removal in this class of cases was kept open until the trial or final hearing, instead of being closed after an entry of appearance, as was the rule under Che act of 1789. We think this gives such a party the right of removal at any time before trial, when the necessary citizenship of his co-defendants is found to exist, and a separation of bis interest in the controversy can be made. There is nothing in the act to manifest a contrary intention, and this construction does no more than give the party to whom this new privilege is granted an opportunity to avail himself of any circumstances that may appear in his favor previous to the time when he is called upon finally to act. ””
