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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whatever may be the full scope of the word ‘company,’ it does include at least any unincorporated association or grorlp of individuals whose object and purpose are either wholly or chiefly of the same kind as the object and purpose of a moneyed business, or commercial corporation. A corporation is also a group of individuals, and the fact that one group has a charter, while another group with an identical object has none, hardly furnishes a sufficient reason for exempting the latter from the scope of the act.””
