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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is also claimed, that the decree did not empower the master to make a deed, and hence the deed did not pass the title to the premises. The decree orders the master in chancery to sell the property and take from the purchaser a mortgage on the premises sold, to secure the payment of the pur chase money. Whether'an order to sell, standing alone, would imply authority to make a deed, need not here be determined, as the order in the decree directing the master to take a mortgage on the premises sold would seem to leave no room to doubt the authority to make a deed. The clear implication from the authority to sell and take a mortgage is, that the master, in making sale, should deed the premises. ■ . “In conclusion we are of the opinion that the decree and the deed read in evidence were sufficient, in this collateral proceeding, to prove that whatever title the plaintiffs originally had to the premises, passed from them under the sale made .by the master in chancery.””
