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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon general principles of equity a trust fund can ordinarily be followed into the hands of one who takes it in payment of an existing debt, although without notice of its character, for the discharge of the debt by such means is ineffectual, and the rights of the creditor can be fully protected, so that he shall suffer no loss, while the beneficiary of the trust can be restored to his own. (Schulein v. Hainer, 48 Kan. 249 , 29 Pac. 171 ; 39 Cyc. 567; Pomeroy’s Equity Jurisprudence, § 1048. Note, 35 L. R. A., n. s., 1174.)” (p. 634.)”
