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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““At any time after the closing of any incorporated bank if it shall appear to the receiver thereof that the assets of such bank are insufficient to pay its liabilities, it shall be the duty of such receiver to immediately institute proper proceedings, in the name of the bank, for the collection of the liability of the stockholders of such bank . . . Provided, That all transfers of property by a stockholder after the closing of any such bank and before the payment of the double liability as provided by this act, shall be absolutely void as against said double liability. . . .” (R. S. 9-156.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““A statute will not be declared unconstitutional, unless its infringement of the superior law is clear, beyond substantial doubt . . .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It is a fact, of which, the court may well take judicial notice, that men who become sureties for others or incur liabilities which they do not expect to pay will often resort to every possible means; to avoid payment of the liability. Stockholders in banks do not expect to pay the double liability. When they see a possibility of being obliged to pay that liability they frequently dispose of their stock, if they can do so, and thereby escape payment. They will sometimes dispose of their property for the purpose of defeating payment. The purpose of the statute is to meet that situation and compel payment when the liability arises.” (p. 51.)”
