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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But the question as to a transferee of commercial paper is not the actual title the transferor had to eonvoy, but what was his apparent right to make the transfer, and, if he had such an apparent right to make a transfer, it is no defect in the title of the transferee, a holder for value and in good faith, that the transferor is abusing a trust or committing a fraud, unless the transferee also has notice of such abuse of trust or intended fraud. The notice of a defect or want of power in the transferor, * * to make a valid transfer, must be knowledge of such facts on the part of the transferee that' his action in taking the instrument amounted to bad faith.””
