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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The authorities cited by counsel show, that to forge an instrument which upon its face is of no validity or binding force, does not constitute the crime of forgery. And indeed no authorities would seem necessary for so- plain a proposition. So soon as it appears that the alleged draft is no draft, but a mere void paper, it follows that the party was not guilty of forging an indorsement upon a draft.””
