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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Interest is first to lie calculated on a demand up to the first partial payment,; then add the interest to the principal, and deduct the payment therefrom; then cast, interest on the remainder to the second payment, add the interest to the remainder, and deduct therefrom the second payment; and so on until the last partial payment, unless, in any case, the interest up to any payment shall exceed the payment, in which case such payment is to be deducted from the interest, and the excess of the interest is to he carried forward, without casting interest thereon, to the next payment that will discharge the excess.””
