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

1. “* * the bank took the check for collection * * * in the execution of its agency. * * * When the superintendent of banks took possession of the bank by reason of its insolvency, the check had not yet been collected. The agency of the bank was revoked by operation of law. It had not yet become a debtor to its depositor, and it had lost the right to create the relation of debtor and creditor by making collection. It was a mere custodian of the paper. The moneys thereafter collected by the superintendent were no part of the assets of the bank, but belonged to the depositor. He should not, therefore, be required to prove his claim as if he were a creditor.””
