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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have then only to inquire whether it was competent for defendant,' under the allegations of his answer, to prove by parol that the money in question was a gift from his father, for the allegations of the answer sufficiently present that defense. It alleges that the money was a gift, intended as an advancement, and that there was no consideration for the note. If in fact a gift, and the note was taken as a matter of form, to then express an advancement, it follows that the note was without consideration, for in that case there could have been no intention that it should be repaid. Such being the defense the case comes within the rule permitting the maker of a promissory note to show that it was given as accommodation paper.””
