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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““His (defendant’s) counsel sought to show that the other two notes were raised to $3,500 and $4,500, respectively, but the testimony was excluded. This testimony was not admissible. The only argument that can be made in favor of its admission is that, if Sanborn altered the other two, he probably altered the note in suit. In other words, a forgery was to be proven by other forgeries.””
