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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘When two persons, having had monetary transactions together, close the account by agreeing to the balance appearing to be due from one of them, this is called an “account stated.” It is of importance from the fact that it operates as an admission of liability by the person against whom the balance appears; or, in the language of the common law, “the law implies that he against whom the balance appears, has engaged to pay it, to the other, and on this implied promise or admission an action may be brought * * ’ ” (Emphasis supplied.) [ 103 Ala. 332 , 15 So. 673 .]”
