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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The first mortgagee not having been made a party, any sale under the second mortgage must necessarily have been subject to the operation of the first mortgage, unless the first mortgagee assented to a sale free and clear of his mortgage or voluntarily released his mortgage, or intervened in this proceeding, subjecting himself and his mortgage to the jurisdiction of the Court. This it was perfectly competent for him to do, Tome v. King, 64 Md. 166 , but he did not do it. All that he did, or that was done in his name, was to file a claim for the amount of his mortgage and certain interest thereon, and without asking to become or being made a party to the proceeding, so as to be bound thereby.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Before ratifying the account making this allowance to the trustee there should either have been satisfactory proof of the payment and release of the first mortgage, or R. Dorsey Rogers, trustee and mortgagee should by apt proceedings have been made a party to the cause in such a manner as to bind him, and give the Court jurisdiction in this proceeding over the first mortgage.” (Emphasis added.)”
