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 53 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he rule of law is that a taking animus furandi of money or chattel after being received by a servant for his master and placed by the servant for his master in a depository which is in the actual or constructive possession of the master at the time of the taking, is larceny. . . . By the servant placing the property in a depository in the possession of the master, the servant’s exclusive possession of the property is terminated, and the subsequent taking is a trespass.”

State, 213 Md. 298, 314 (1957).”
