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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was held by Chancellor Sanford in Washington Ins. Co. v. Price, 1 Hopk. Ch. (N. Y.) 1, that a chancellor being a stockholder in a corporation cannot do any judicial act in a cause in which that corporation is a party, although he is not personally a party to the record. “We can see no substantial difference in the case of a judge who is a stockholder in a corporation sitting in a cause brought by or against such corporation, and a case where the matter in controversy involves the property of such corporation, although it is not a party to the action.””
