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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ * * * Counsel for defendant insist that the sending of these statements constituted an account stated in favor of defendant in the sum of $109.99. We cannot agree. Mace v. Spaulding, 110 Colo. 58 , 130 P. (2d) 89 , sets forth the elements necessary to create an account stated, which we epitomize as follows: “1. An account which must have been examined and accepted by the parties; “2. An agreement that the balance and all items of account representing the previous monetary transactions of the parties are correct; “3. An admission of liability to the apparent debtor for the amount of the balance against him. “4. The assent of both parties and a meeting of the minds.””
