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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plaintiffs (Carpenter & Co.) testified that they had no knowledge of any intention on the part of defendant (Springs) not to receive or deliver cotton when the contracts matured. The evidence offered by defendants did not show knowledge on the part of plaintiffs of the intention of defendants not to receive or deliver the cotton on the maturity of the contracts themselves. Plaintiffs requested a peremptory instruction, which was denied, and The case submitted to the jury.””
