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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If any defendant personally served with notice omits to set up a counterclaim arising out of the contract or transaction set forth in the comnlaint as the ground of the plaintiff’s claims,- or any of them, he cannot afterwards maintain an action against the plaintiff therefor except at his own cost.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The difficulty in arriving at the true interpretation of the term ‘transaction’ lies in the fact that it had no strict legal meaning before it was used in the statute. Being placed in immediate connection with the word ‘contract’ and separated therefrom by the disjunctive ‘or’ one conclusion is certain at all events; namely that the legislature intended by it something different from and additional to ‘contract.’ The most familiar rules of textual interpretation are violated by the assumption that no such signification was intended. The only question at all doubtful is, how far did the lawmakers design to go, and how broad a sense did they attach to the word ? Is it to be used in its widest popular meaning or must it be narrowed into some limited and technical meaning, and thus be made a term of legal nomenclature.” Pomeroy, Remedies and Remedial Rights (2nd Ed.), §769.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Muir v. Robinson“A transaction is ‘the management or settlement of an affair,’ Century Diet. ‘That which is done,’ Webster’s Diet. ‘Transacting or conducting any business; negotiation; management; a proceeding,’ Worcester’s Diet. ‘ “Transaction,” as ordinarily employed, is understood to mean the doing or performing of some matter of business between two or more persons.’”
