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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No corporation shall issue stock or bonds except for money paid, labor done, or property actually received, and all fictitious increase of stock or indebtedness shall be void.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Mitchell v. Porter · Davis v. Burns““The president of a bank which was a creditor of the corporation had been informed by the promoters of the corporation, who were trying to sell him stock individually, that the stock was being taken at less than par. This was a month or two prior to'the time the bank extended its credit to the corporation, and it was not shown that such credit was extended through the agency of the president. SeM, that the evidence was not sufficient to charge the bank with notice of the manner of issuing the stock.” ¿Held-, further: “Though parties have been informed of the issuance of stock below par ■by a corporation, such information has not the characteristics of notice in law, unless the transaction to be affected thereby took place under such circumstances as would lead to the reasonable conclusion that the fact reported was still remembered.””
