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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . The appellant apparently contends that the ‘hearing’ mentioned in §4 (Acts 1937, ch. 84) is only a hearing in a proceeding based on §2 or §3; that in a proceeding under §1 the judgment creditor may procure knowledge as to the defendant’s property and income but that the court can make no order relative to such property and income until a proceeding is brought and a hearing had under §2 or §3. We can see no valid reason for such an interpretation of this section of the statute. The statutes provides for a hearing in the proceedings authorized by each of the first three sections. Section I states that upon ‘the hearing’ the court may make an order for the application of defendant’s property or income toward the satisfaction of the judgment. No valid reason is suggested for limiting the application of §4 to two out of the three preceding sections . . . ’””

Ward““We conclude that so long as a judgment creditor proceeds by proper allegations under one or all of the first three sections of the statute, thereafter ‘the court may make an order for the application of defendant’s property or income toward the satisfaction of the judgment’ within the limits of the act.””
