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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where goods are sold to an agent the legal presumption is that the credit is given to the principal, and entries on the books of the vendor charging the goods to the agent, though of much weight upon the question, are not conclusive evidence that the credit was given exclusively to him.” (Foster et al. v. Persch, 68 N. Y. 400, 402 .)”
