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.
“A corporation is represented' by its trustees and managers; tjleiracts are its acts, and their neglect its neglect. The employment of agents of good character, does not discharge their whole duty. It is misconduct not to do this, but in.addition they are required to exercise such supervision and'vigilance as a discreet person would exercise‘over'his own affairs. Tho bank might not be liable for a single act of fraud or crime on the part of an officer or agent, while it would be for a continuous course of fraudulent practice, especially those so openly committed and easily detected as these are shown to have been. Here were no supervision, no meetings, no examination, no inquiry.”
