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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘ It is well settled that the individual note of one of two joint debtors or partners will not operate as payment of the joint or partnership debt, unless expressly received as payment. The individual note thus given is treated the same as if a debtor should turn out to his creditor the note of a third person.’ (Claflin v. Ostrom, 54 N. Y. 581, 585 .) The return of the original note is not sufficient to change the presumption. (Olcott v. Rathbone, 5 Wend. 491 ; Claflin v. Ostrom, supra; Bates v. Rosekrans, 37 N. Y. 409 ; First National Bank v. Weston, 25 App. Div. 414 .) ” (Italics supplied.)”
