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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There was nothing to prevent the parties to this indebtedness, at the date of the surrogate’s decree, from making such application thereof as they might agree upon, and having, under the sanction of the surrogate’s court, applied it upon the unsecured indebtedness of the debtor, strangers to the transaction have no right to complain. The appellants [the third parties] were not parties to that accounting, and had no legal right to appear therein, or litigate the question of the application of such account; and the disposition then made of it is conclusive upon them.”
