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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““One cannot be permitted to sit by and see another constantly using his name in the purchase of goods, receive the invoices showing the purchase in his name, give orders for the goods to be taken from the depot and express-office, see the other dealing them off as his own, and then, when called upon for payment by one who has been acting in good, faith, repudiate the whole transaction, and deny the agency.” Cooper v. Mulder, 74 Mich. 374, 385 .”
