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 assignee is not affected by any subsequent transactions between the original parties to the instrument. He is not bound to give the maker notice of the assignment. The latter must ascertain who is the holder of the note, and make payment accordingly. He can fully protect himself against a .demand of payment from the payee, by refusing to pay unless the note is surrendered. If the defendant had pursued such a course, no ‘difficulty would have arisen. The payment in question was made in his own wrong, and he must abide the eonsequepces of his negligence.””
