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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The safe-keeping of the moneys of the county, and their disbursement according to law. is the primary duty of the county treasurer — a duty owing to the public, and not to individuals. If there is a breach of the duty, followed by a loss of the .moneys, whether the loss results from misappropriation or from waste or conversion, the title to and ownership of the funds determines the right of suit or of action.””
