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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The law has been generally established that as between the parties the transfer of stock by delivery of the certificate, with power of attorney or endorsed in blank, passes title without transfer on the books of the company, even when the by-laws of the company provide to the contrary. (Authorities). Such blank transfer on the back of the certificate, to which the holder has affixed his name, is a good assignment and the party to whom it is delivered is authorized to fill it up.- It may be filled up with the name of a remote transferee, and the name to be inserted concerns only the purchaser. (Authorities).””
