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.
““This statute does no more than to empower the court, in decreeing a divorce, to determine the ownership of the personal property of the parties and to apportion the property accordingly. Lopez v. Lopez, 206 Md. 509 . It confers no power to transfer the property of either spouse to the other, or otherwise to dispose of it. And it is firmly established that a court of equity has no power, unless conferred by the legislature, to transfer the property of either spouse to the other, or otherwise to dispose of it.. . . Hall v. Hall, 180 Md. 353 . See Brucker v. Bensen, 209 Md. 247 ; Lickle v. Boone, 187 Md. 579 ; Gunter v. Gunter, 187 Md. 228 ; Elko v. Elko, 187 Md. 161 ; Dougherty v. Dougherty, 187 Md. 21 .””
