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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ The indorsement effectuates two things — it transfers the title, and creates a conditional liability. The first is often, in the contemplation of the parties at the time of the transfer, the only thing sought; and if afterward recourse is sought on the indorser, he may well insist on an exact compliance with all the steps necessary to change the conditional to an absolute liability.””
