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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Suppose * * * his [a planter’s] factor furnishes him in one lot, on the 3lst of December [of a given year] all the pork or corn he needs for the coming year in order to make and gather his new crop. Would his privilege be defeated [as to the new crop] because the item was furnished in the year [before]? Would it not be a sufficient answer to say and prove that the provisions were furnished for the crop of [the new year], and were actually used and consumed in making it?””
