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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Notwithstanding the reiteration, with accumulating intensity, of language found in the bill, I am not able to find any evidence of either positive misfeasance, misappropriation, or other dishonest or fraudulent conduct by the defendant; nor do I find any evidence of knowledge of such conduct by the secretary and manager, or such information in respect to such conduct, as fixes him with liability as a particeps criminis, upon the principles announced in Chemical Co. v. Floyd [ 158 N. C. 455 , 74 S. E. 465 ]; Chemical Co. v. Ehrich, supra [(D. C.) 230 F. 1005 ]; and other decided eases. * * * ””
