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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“• We have been cited to no rule of law under which a document in the nature of a. certificate need not be signed if physically attached to another paper which bears-a signature. Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary defines the verb “certify” as follows: 3. To testify to in writing; give a certificate of; make a declaration about, in writing, under hand, or hand and seal; * * * This definition indicates the necessity for a signature to a written certification. There is nothing before us to indicate that the importer intended that the signature of the entry should be the signature of the certificate, even were such a practice permissible. The certificate before us appears to be a mimeographed form having the firm name of Harper & Harper, Attorneys, with their address-in the lower left-hand corner. It is admitted by the attorney for the plaintiff that this firm name is not claimed to be a signature.”
