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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the record of the case at bar we do not find any evidence to show that the plaintiffs knew of the intention of the defendant not to receive the cotton bought, upon the several orders; but, even if such evidence had appeared, it would have been for tbe jury to pass upon.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Evidence had already been introduced by the plaintiffs tending to show that the ‘defendant intended to receive the cotton he had ordered to be bought for him. lie was notified from time to time by the plaintiffs, who acted as his agents, that it had been bought in conformity with the rules and customs of the New York Cotton Exchange, and that the orders had been received and executed with the distinct understanding that actual delivery was contemplated, and in no single instance had he demurred to this action of his agents, or repudiated it, but had by silence assented to the purchase upon the conditions stated, and surely it was a question for the jury to say whether the evidence adduced by the plaintiff as to his intent, evidenced by a course of dealing extending over a considerable period of time, should or should not outweigh a self-serving declaration made by the defendant at the time of trial that he did not mean to do that which the correspondence introduced in evidence tended to show he had done. The jury, upon the submission of the question to it. might have thought that actions speak louder than words, and. might have thought that at the time the cotton was ordered defendant really did want to buy it subject to actual delivery, notwithstanding Ms denial on the stand.””
