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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems very clear that there was no usury in this mortgage by reason of the stipulation for exchange — conceding - that where exchange is contracted for as a mere mode of' obtaining more for the use of the money than legal interest, and without any design that it shall be remitted to the place ■ upon which exchange is provided, it would be usury. Where-such is not the case and the exchange is stipulated for in-good faith as payment for the transportation of the money, it does not make the contract usurious, even though in addition to the highest rate of interest allowed by law. In such case it is not paid as interest. It is not paid for the use of' the money. But it is paid only as the expense of making the payment itself at the place where the parties might have contracted that it should be made.””
