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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The funds placed in the State Bank of Ovando by the treasurer were deposited pursuant to section 4767, R. C. 1921, after the bank had been designated a depositary according to law, and had given a good and sufficient bond. The deposit was lawful, and by reason thereof the county was merely a general creditor of the bank.””
