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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The settled doctrine of the court is, that if the answer admits the contract, without stating that it was not in writing, and setting up the statute of frauds, the statute cannot be used as a defence. The admission will be held to be that of a legal contract — that is, a written one, and no proof need be offered of it. But if the pleading or answer denies the existence of any agreement, the plaintiff will be obliged to prove one; and he must prove a legal agreement which, in cases within the statute of frauds, is a written one. But where the answer admits an agreement, though only a parole one, the defendant must plead the statute in order to obtain its protection.””
