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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As to the one who is sought to be charged as principal, the declarations of the alleged agent are hearsay. If the evidence had been offered for the purpose of binding Blake as principal, the doctrine would apply, but the evidence was offered for no such purpose. On the contrary, it was offered solely as an admission of the appellants. It is as competent to prove the admission by one that he is the agent of another, where that is the fact sought to be established against him, as it is'to prove any other admission against his interest. The appellants were sued as agents. They denied agency. It was therefore competent as against themselves to prove that they had admitted that they were agents. Fisher v. Krutz, 9 Kan. 501 ; 31 Cyc. 1656.””
