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

1. ““The record discloses that the claim of opponent is founded upon a judicial mortgage that resulted from the rendition of a judgment in its favor against the -Sugar Company subsequent to its purchase of the property from Ermann & Cahn, and the registry of their vendor’s mortgage; and these proceedings were not commenced until after the lapse of more than a year after Pharr- purchased same. “Opponent’s claim not having any existence when the sale was made, he was neither a party nor privy thereto, and was necessarily a third person to all intents and purposes; but his claim is, that having-acted on the faith of the public records which disclosed the warranty clause in its deed, and given the Sugar Company credit on that account, he is entitled to exercise its right of warranty against Ermann & Cahn, and Pharr, as transferree, of their vendor’s notes.””

2. ““The admitted facts show clearly that they knew nothing of it. And, as opponent alleges that in permitting the Sugar Company to contract its indebtedness in his favor he acted on the faith of the knowledge he obtained from the public records of the existence of Ermann & Cahn’s contract of warranty to the Sugar Company, it is clear there is no obligation of warranty in his favor.””
