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.
““. . . courts of equity in Indiana have always allowed set-offs in cases where they could not be granted in law if such relief was necessary to effect clear equity and prevent irremedial injustice. . . . This is on the theory that equity has such jurisdiction independent of statute and will exercise it when there is some equitable ground for relief growing out of the transaction or relation of the parties. Our courts, however, have limited the equitable grounds that will warrant overriding the statutory law to cases where the parties, against whom the relief is sought, are either insolvent or non-residents of the state. . . .””
