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 75 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I think, therefore, that upon the proofs the case is within the rule laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States, namely: The court can now see, upon the evidence that bears upon the question of materiality of the representations, and alleged injury to the defendant, that if the jury were to render a verdict against the plaintiff it would have to set that verdict aside.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Not only must the representations be made, not only must they be fraudulent, and not only must it appear that the party relied, and had a right to-rely, upon them, but it must also be shown that the representations were material to the contract or transaction which took place between the parties.””
