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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon its face the note appeared to be barred by the statute of limitations. To overcome' the defense that the debt was barred Brock offered to testify that payments of interest had been made by Corbin to himself within the period of limitation and also that the payments had been endorsed by himself on the note. As the offered testimony related to transactions Brock had personally with the deceased in a case where the adverse party is administratrix of the estate it was properly excluded under section 320 of the civil code' (Laws 1911, ch. 229, § 1). No other testimony being offered, the demurrer of the defendant to the evidence of the plaintiff was necessarily sustained.”-”
