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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Carpenter v. Taylor, the plaintiff entered the saloon of a hotel to get refreshments between twelve and one o’clock at night and when he went out the place was being closed. He left his opera-glass behind, but it did not appear where, and the next morning when he called for it, it could not be found. As it did not appear that the defendant or any of his servants ever received, or even saw the glass, it was properly held that he was not responsible for its loss.” (Italics ours.)”
