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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Must he aver and ■ prove one of tb ■ specific grounds of attachment laid. down in -the statute, or will it be sufficient to show that the surviving partner is actir j in violation of that quasi trust imposed upon him by law f( r the benefit • of firm creditors ? We’ have no hesitation in saying that he must bring his case strictly within the letter of the statute.”
