The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Undoubtedly the weight of authority is to the effect that Section 1324 (now 869) imposes additional limitation upon the right to sue and does not enlarge the right to sue beyond the limitation of our own statute. By its very terms it effects only the remedy. That is, where the remedy is denied the suitor in the state where his cause of action arose, it is denied to him here. If it is not denied to him in the state where the cause arose it may be denied' to him here by our Statute of Limitations.””
