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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Like an ordinary chose in action, a bill or note may be transferred by assignment or by mere delivery with the usual incidents of such a transfer, and this rule is not changed by the negotiable instrument law. * * * It may be formal or informal; * * * it may be by a separate instrument, or in the absence of a statute to the contrary, by parol.” (Italics added.) See to same effect 8 C. J. 383, § 568; 10 C. J. S., Bills and Notes, § 227, p. 719.”
