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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When credit is given for a specified or indefinite time, interest is not allowable in the absence of a special agreement to pay interest; but after the expiration of the time in the one instance, and a demand in the other, interest is allowed. The right to recover interest in this case is supported by the authorities cited by plaintiff, viz.: Pease v. Barber, 3 Caines [N. Y.] 266; Ried v. Rensselaer Glass Factory, 3 Cow. [N. Y.] 423.””

It has been much extended in modern times, and is founded solely upon the equitable rights of the parties.” Beardslee v. Horton, 3 Mich. 560 .”
