The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “When Samuel paid the debt to Reamer and took the collateral indorsed in blank, Samuel was subrogated to the rights of Reamer to hold the certificates of stock until Thomas paid the debt to Samuel. The stock was pledged as security for that debt, and in the absence of an agreement to the contrary Samuel was entitled to hold it until the debt was paid. The undisputed evidence is that that debt has not been paid. Thomas could not have recovered it from Samuel. Thomas could convey no higher right than he *Page 188 had. The assignee of Thomas cannot recover it from the administratrix of Samuel.”
