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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““For the purpose of determining this question, all the defenses must be considered together. When thus considered, it is manifest that appellee’s plea of non est factum was only technically true; that is, it contained a denial of the fact that he was bound in his individual capacity. Under these facts, it was not necessary for appellant to prove that the indorsement Was signed by appellee; that was admitted by the answer. Being admitted, appellee could escape liability only in the event that he proved [as pleaded] payment, fraud, or accord and satisfaction.””
