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

  1. “‘ ‘ It was also expressly held in that case that the right of action for contribution accrues when one surety pays more than his share of the common liability. This is in accordance with the general rule, that a party acquires the right of contribution as soon as he pays more than his share, but not until then, and consequently the statute of limitations does not begin to run until then.””

  2. “Here the appellees, having paid the whole amount of the debt for which all were jointly liable, were entitled to maintain an action for contribution against the other joint makers of the note, not on the note, but on the contract which the law implies, an obligation worked out by courts of equity in order to do exact justice between the parties.”
