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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the note to the case of Barden v. Montana Club, 24 Am. St. Rep. 27 , immediately following the excerpt hereinbefore quoted, the editors of that valuable series of case-law make the following observation, as deducible from an examination of adjudications applicable to the inquiry, to wit: “ ‘The question whether or not the furnishing of intoxicating or fermented liquor, by a club to its members in the manner above stated constitutes a sale in violation of laws prohibiting sales, or whether or not it constitutes a sale, within the meaning of a law requiring a license before one can engage in retailing such liquor, has been the subject of various and conflicting decisions by a number of the appellate courts of the country. While the cases cannot be reconciled, the current as well, as the weight of authority, is undoubtedly in favor of the rule that the distribution and consumption of liquors, in a club, by its members, in the manner above stated, is a sale, and a violation of laws of the nature stated. ’ “Several cases are cited, and quotations therefrom are contained in the note that fully sustain the conclusion thus reached, and we adopt that part of such deduction as relates to the disposal of intoxicating liquor by a club to its members, in violation of the provisions of a local option law, without further calling attention to the cases relied upon. ’ ’”
