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 mere fact tliat the trustee of the deed of trust, and the purchasers for a valuable consideration claiming under it, and creditors, may, at the time of its registration, have had notice, however clear, of the prior unregistered mortgage, could not at all prejudice them. This is well settled by numerous adjudications of this court. It would be otherwise, however, as to such creditors or purchasers who should fraudulently prevent or delay the registration of the prior mortgage or deed of trust.””
