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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where several depositors of a national bank had claims against a number of the bank’s directors, arising out of their failure to take steps to prevent the bank’s assets being improperly loaned, and none of such depositors could, by separate suits at law, recover that to which he was entitled, such depositors were entitled to maintain a single suit against such directors in equity. * * * An action by depositors against directors of an insolvent national bank to recover damages for breach of the directors’ implied contract to see that the bank’s assets were used in the manner prescribed by the national bank act is an action on contract, and survives against representatives of deceased directors.””
