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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where one of two partners retires from business, relinquishing to the other all his interest in the partnership property, the remaining partner acquires the same dominion as if it had ever been his own separate property. The assignment being made in good faith, the title vests in the assignee as his own private estate, free from any lien or equity in favor of partnership creditors. Such assignee may lawfully transfer such property in payment of his individual debts.””
