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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"And as a practical proposition the deposit slip is the mere instrumentality through which the depositor acquires the use of the money. "Indeed in City National Bank v. Burns , 68 Ala. 267 , 44 Am.Rep. 138 , the holding was that the act of the bank in crediting a depositor with the amount of a check drawn upon it by another customer, is 'equivalent to a payment in money'. "It would be carrying technicality to a most regrettable extreme to hold that the proof of the mere instrumentality of obtaining the money constitutes a variance with the charge of obtaining the money itself, when the same evidence discloses the fact that the money was so obtained. Counsel for defendant lays stress upon two decisions of this Court."”
