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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are all of opinion that the note did not lose its negotiability by this special indorsement, any more than it would if it had been indorsed with the words, ‘without recurrence to the indorser,’ which is a common form of indorsement where the indorser does not intend to remain liable.””
