The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““ ‘The true ground is that a refusal to pay in accordance with the terms of the agreement is a breach Which indicates that the one who is guilty of it does not intend to be bound by the contract, and therefore the other party may rescind it. ’ See, also, The Hess Co. v. Dawson, 149 Ill. 138 . “In Withers v. Reynolds, 2 Barn. & Adol. 882, it was held that under a contract to deliver three loads of straw at thirty-three shillings a load, to be paid as the loads were delivered, the refusal by Withers to pay for one load, for which he was behind, indicated that he did not intend to be bound by the contract and justified Reynolds in refusing to make a further delivery.””
