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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Exceptions to the rule are, however, found in cases where a share in profits is contracted to be paid as a measure of compensation to employers for services rendered in the business, or for the use of moneys loaned in aid of the enterprise; but when the agreement extends beyond this, and provides for the proprietary interest in the profits as a compensation for money advanced and time and services bestowed as a principal in its prosecution, we think that the rule still requires such party to be held as a partner.””

Alexander““This agreement does not in express terms purport to form a partnership;: neither is the intention to do so disclaimed; and the question is, therefore, whether, in a business carried on under the conditions provided for in the contract, the parties thereto became partners as to third persons.””
