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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In addition to what has already been said, we think this instruction is also fatally defective for tte reason ttat it did not require tte jury, to find that tte failure of Scullin to disclose his ownership of stock in tte Rock Island Company and that said company, was the intending purchaser, were material inducements to the plaintiff’s action in sending her stock to defendant Scullin in response to his telegram of April 24th, nor that she relied upon the non-existence of such facts and would not have sent her stock had she known the facts.””
