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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In their answer the defendants, other than Dooley, repudiated the notes as above set out, and although they alleged in their answer that the notes were altered with the knowledge of the Drovers’ Bank, and received by that bank with knowledge that they had been altered, there was no substantial evidence to sustain this contention. Moreover, the president of the Drovers’ Bank testified that, at the time the notes were taken by his bank, he knew of no defects or infirmities in them. He further testified that it was not unusual, where printed forms of notes were used, to find the printed name of the payee stricken out and the name of a different payee written in. Without further reviewing or analyzing the evidence on this point, it is sufficient to state that we are of the opinion that there was substantial evidence to support the finding that the notes were complete and regular upon their face, and that the other requisites of a holder in due course were fulfilled.””
