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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This sale was unanimously agreed to at a meeting of the creditors, of which meeting the claimant had notice; and as he did not object, either then or afterwards, he actually or presumably assented to what was done. It seems clear to me, therefore, that even if, under ordinary circumstances, his lien would have been discharged by a referee’s sale in case money enough was produced by the two lots to pay the lien, it is impossible, under the facts in hand, to determine, that sufficient money was produced by the land that was bound for his claim. No apportionment of the price paid is possible. This condition having been brought about by the decision of the creditors, in which he took part, to sell the real and personal property for a lump sum, it is, I think, evident that his claim for payment out of this sum cannot be allowed.””
