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.
““The common-law liability of the husband for necessaries furnished to the wife and members of the family is founded upon the assumption that the credit in such case was extended to the husband, and not to the wife, and that the purchases made on credit were so made with the implied assent of the husband. This common-law liability does not exist where the facts show that credit was given to the wife and the goods charged to her, and not to the husband, and that the goods were not sold to the wife upon the implied assent of the husband that they were to be charged to him.””
