The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““It is therefore evident, even if a warranty was made by Potter as to the quality of the cheese in the car, and not examined at the time by the defendant, that the defendant did not rely upon it, but preferred to make an examination for himself, and was to have the 10' days in which to do it. If he did not make such examination, it was his own fault.””
