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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The stock was bought on the order of the Cleveland brokers, by the Chicago ten, for Corner, and was paid for by him; the bill being sent him by the Cleveland firm. When tins was done, the stock belonged to Corner, and the certificate should have been sent him; but the Cleveland firm failed to do so, and as a result tlie stock was sold, upon their failure, as collateral, to satisfy the account of the Chicago brokers against, them. We think this was done wrongfully. Corner owed neither the Cleveland firm nor the Chicago brokers anything, and consequently the proceeds of Corner’s stock, which went into the funds at the sale, should go to him.””
