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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To ‘utter’ ordinarily means to declare or assert directly or indirectly by words or actions that a thing offered (as an instrument) is genuine or good; * * to make use of, to offer; to pass off; * * to put forth; to put in circulation; to put out. 66 C.J. 382; see also State v. Anderson, 1 Boyce 135 , 74 A. 1097 ; Web.New.Inter. Dict. Usually, the mere offer of a check to a person is, therefore, to utter it, whether it be accepted by that person, or not. People v. Caton, 25 Mich. 388 ; Girdley v. State, 161 Tenn. 177 , 29 S.W.2d 255 .””
