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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been held that the fact that the plaintiff, during the period when he might have enforced his claim, by suit, if he had one, was in indigent circumstances, and needed the use of the money, is a circumstance tending to justify the presumption that the demand has been paid or otherwise satisfied. “In addition to this circumstance, affording a presumption of payment under the facts in this case, we have the further fact of the actual payment by his mother of substantial sums of money during the identical period embraced in the bill of particulars.””
