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

Kress, 60 Barb. 181 ; Lefler v. Field, 50 Barb. 407 ; McNeil v. Tenth Nat. Bank, 46 N. T. 325.”
