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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The test by which to determine whether a statute creates a specialty debt or not is whether, independent of the statute, the law implies an obligation to do that which the statute requires to be done, and whether independently of the statute a right of action exists for a breach of the duly or obligation imposed by the statute. If so, then the obligation is not in the nature of a specialty, and is within the statute; * * * but, if the statute "creates the duty or obligation, then the obligation thereby imposed is a specialty, and is not within the statute.””
