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

1. “"If the plaintiff extended the credit to Mackey, it would constitute an original undertaking, and therefore not within the statute; while, on the other hand, if the credit was extended to QuilliaD and Mackey was to stand good for it, the original undertaking was on Quillian, and Mackey’s agreement collateral thereto, and therefore within the statute. May v. Roberts, 28 Okla. 619 , 115 Pac. 771 ; Waldock v. First National Bank of Idabel. 43 Okla. 348 , 143 Pac. 53 . The verdict of the jury, being for plaintiff, necessarily finds the undertaking original, and not within the statute.””
