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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In New Hampshire from the earliest time contracts or acts entering into contracts prohibited by statute subject to penalty have been uniformly held to be void, not voidable (Allen v. Deming, 14 N.H. 133 , 40 Am.Dec. 179; Boutelle v. Melendy, 19 N.H. 196 , 49 Am.Dec. 152; State v. Rand, 51 N.H. 361 , 12 Am.Rep. 127 ; Albertson & Co. v. Shenton, 78 N.H. 216 , 98 A. 516 ; Edgerly v. Hale, 71 N.H. 138 , 51 A. 679 ; George v. George, 47 N.H. 27 , and numerous other cases); whereas, in Massachusetts they frequently have been held voidable, if not executed, not void.”
