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.
““ * * * The rule in this state is that, where there are mutual debts held by the respective parties, and defendant’s debt is not barred by limitation at the time plaintiffs’ suit is instituted, defendant may by counterclaim set up his debt as a set-off to plaintiffs’ demand, notwithstanding it may be barred as the basis of an independent suit at the time such counterclaim is filed.””
