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.
““The evil at which the statute defining larceny by embezzlement is leveled is not confined to instances where the agency involved is of long duration or is broad and comprehensive in scope. If, at the time of the felonious and fraudulent conversion, the accused was an agent for a particular purpose only, and the property appropriated was intrusted to him by virtue of such agency, it is sufficient. It is not the nature and extent of the authority conferred, but the fact of the relationship which constitutes an essential element of the crime. If the note and mortgage were delivered to appellant for collection, there can be no question but that he was an agent within the meaning of the statute.””
