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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule at common law was, that if no place was appointed for the payment of money, (as appears to be the fact in the case at bar,) if the person to whom the money was due was out of England, the debtor was not bound to go out of the realm to make him a tender. Bacon’s Abr. Tender, C. So in Allshouse v. Ramsay, 6 Whart. 331 , it is held that when a contract is made in one state of the Union for the payment of money, and no place of payment is designated, the debtor is not bound to go to another state to tender the money to the creditor. To the same effect, Smith v. Smith, 25 Wend. 405 ; s. c. 2 Hill, 351 ; 2 Gr. Ev. § 601, note 3; Tasker v. Bartlett, 5 Cush. 359 .””
