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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant presents the proposition that , the plea in this case was in effect, a non est factum, and, not being verified, as required for such pleas,, the general exception should have been sustained.

The plea of non est factum places the burden of proving the execution of the instrument on the one claiming under it. Such could not be the result in this case. The execution of the instrument in question is not denied, but admitted” — citing Dewees v. Bluntzer, supra, and other cases..”
