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.

1. ““Defendant had been doing- business under the name of the Independent Oil Company. After plaintiff came back from Augusta, Georgia, there was no change in the firm name, in the firm funds, in the firm accounts, in the firm letterheads, in the bank account, and no commingling of plaintiff’s funds with those of defendant. No certificate of partnership was filed, no agreement was made upon the part of plaintiff whereby he was to share in the profits or the losses, no time was fixed for the continuance of a partnership, and no time fixed for its expiration.””
