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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The law of bailments does not, however, as in case of leases, imply a renewal of the former contract from the mere naked act of retaining possession, but possession, retained without objection after the period originally fixed has expired, in connection with other persuading circumstances, may raise a question of fact for a jury as to whether the bailment was terminated or continued and renewed.” (p. 528.)”
