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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether the case be decided on the theory of a constructive trust, or on that of an unauthorized sale and transfer of a nonnegotiable. rent note by an agent, the transferees of the notes must account therefor to the real owner, unless they can show that they were bona fide purchasers for a valuable consideration, and without notice of the rights of the real owner, or without knowledge of facts that would put a reasonably careful man on inquiry which, if pursued, would lead to a knowledge of the ownership of the rent notes in question.””
