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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““It is suggested that the reason for section 7677 may be found in the fact that in South Carolina a different degree of responsibility is required of shareholders of state banks, that is to say, the extra liability, and that it would nullify this constitutional requirement if business corporations were permitted to engage in banking.””

  2. ““It is self-evident that, the statutory liability being contractual, a stockholder cannot divest himself of it by a transfer of his stock to one who is legally incapable of assuming it; otherwise the supposed protection to depositors would be a myth, as judicious transfers of the stock would practically obliterate the liability.””
