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 plain implication is that as between the depositors themselves, the form of the deposit gives rise to a presumption and nothing more, but that after the death of either leaving a deposit then subsisting, the presumption becomes conclusive as to the title of the survivor."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““This presumption, inj ected by courts of equity since ancient time, continues and can be overcome by the intervener . only by clear and convincing proof to the contrary.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Holt v.
