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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To maintain an action upon a note, it is necessary to aver some act on the part of the maker which, in law, will fix liability on him; such as that he made and executed the note, showing that it is his act and deed; and it must also be ¿verred that the plaintiff is the owner or has an interest in the note; and if there be a defect in the petition in either respect it will be defective.””
