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.
““I fake it there can be no doubt that a partner is entitled to contribution from his copartner when he has paid more than his share of the firm liabilities, even though the liabilities grow out of a tortious, act of the Ann. When money has come into the hands of a partnership, on a partnership transaction, however wrongfully or unlawfully acquired, as between the members, it is partnership assets, and must be accounted for as such between themselves.””
