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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In reaching this conclusion, we have given consideration to our decisions that when personal property is sold for cash and delivered, the vendor taking the vendee’s check for the purchase price, which is dishonored on presentation, title to the goods does not ordinarily pass (First National Bank of Byars v. Griffin & Griffin, 31 Okl. 382 , 120 P. 595 , 49 L.R.A..N.S., 1020; Mott v. Nelson, 96 Okl. 117 , 220 P. 617 ), and to our decisions holding that mere possession of personal property is not sufficient to estop the real owner from asserting his title as against a person who has dealt with the one in possession on the faith of his apparent ownership. Yonkman v. Harvey, 133 Okl. 252 , 271 P. 839 ; Shannon v. Nicoma Park Development Co., 176 Okl. 53 , 54 P.2d 143 . The facts above stated distinguish the present case from the cited cases. In those cases the facts do not show a delivery by the vendors with knowledge that the vendees were purchasing the property for resale and would put the property in commerce and deal with third persons as though the property was their own as in the instant case.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
