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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A wife is not personally liable on a note signed jointly with her husband on her contract liability for unpaid purchase money for land. The land purchased by her on credit remains liable at all times to be subject to the payment of the purchase money, but she is not personally liable. Speer on Marital Rights, par. 172 (and citing cases). A petition on a joint note against a husband and wife which does not aver that the debt was contracted for tlie benefit of the wife’s separate property, or any other fact that would authorize a judgment against her, presents no cause against the wife” — citing cases.”
