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.
““It is true the word ‘credit’ is often applied to an entry on the credit side of an account, but the ‘credit’ meant by the statute clearly applies to an entry on the debit side of the ledger, or to the thing actually parted with on the faith of the false pretence. The ‘credit’ intended by the statute according to the very terms thereof must be a thing ‘of value’, acquired by means of the check. Of what value is a mere entry on a book? Neither the check, nor entry would amount to payment. The creditor could still sue on the original account. He does not lose it by accepting a bogus check; nor does the mere entry of a check on the book of a creditor amount to a thing of value to the maker of the check.””
