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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not concur in the objections taken to this plea. The note, and the written agreement as to the mode in which it should be payable, having been executed together, are to be construed as one agreement, and the plea shows performance, or readiness to perform, on the part of the defendant. It is said the note was payable to Beaver & Go. and the plea sets up an agreement made with Beaver alone. But the plea avers the consideration for the note moved solely from Beaver, and that the note belonged solely to bim. Even then if the name ‘Beaver & Co.’ used in the note indicated a firm consisting of Beaver and some other person, yet, if a suit had been brought in the name of such firm as payee, the firm would have been bound by the agreement, and its assignee, after maturity, is equally bound.””
