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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The situation is such that one or the other of two innocent persons must suffer loss through the misfeasance of the loan company. If 'it were not for the specific statute the loss would fall upon the defendant for neglecting the precaution otherwise required of him to see that his payments reached the then owner of the note. That statute,.however, places the loss upon the plaintiff because of her neglect to record the assignment.” (Allen v. Waddle, 111 Kan. 690, 693 , 208 Pac. 551 .)”
