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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The only debts from a garnishee to a defendant which are subject to garnishment under the Alabama statute are those which may be made the basis of an action of debt or indebitatus assumpsit by the defendant against the garnishee, so that the test here is whether, at the time of service of the writ or at some time subsequent thereto, the defendant had or will certainly have in the future such a cause of action against the garnishee.”
