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.
““The settled rule in this state with reference-to this matter seems to be that when interest is sought eo nomine, as flowing from and incident to the contract in writing sued upon, it will not be taken into account in determining the jurisdiction of the court; but the contrary is true where the same is sued for as an element of damages arising from the breach of the contract, and where the same is not specially recoverable as due under the contract itself.””

Lingner““On all written contracts ascertaining the sum payable, when no specified rate of interest is agreed upon by. the parties to the contract, interest shall be allowed at the rate of six per cent, per annum from and after the time when the sum is due and payable.””
