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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is an action at law, although not in any form known to the common law; and, although courts of equity have jurisdiction of some matters of account. they never have had any of matters merely in assumpsit, which may ho involved in an action like this. These are called matters of account, because lliey may be kept on books of account, and not by reason of any relation of trust between the parties out of which the transactions might arise, such as courts of equity take cognizance of. * * * In this case there can be no trial by auditors, therefore no auditors should be appointed.””
