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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We warrant the animal to be sound and healthy and in every respect an average breeder, and, in case he fails to be an average breeder, we agree to take him back and replace him with another horse of equal value and merits,””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The transaction between the parties was an unconditional, absolute, and fully-completed sale, with a warranty of the seller superadded. Had there been no condition in the contract by which the appellants bound themselves to take the stallion back in case of a breach of the warranty, the appellee could only have kexDt the horse and sought damages for the breach. The clause by which the appellants agreed that the horse might be returned if there was a breach of the warranty only operated to give the appellee that privilege, which otherwise he would not have had.””
