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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court, • however, has no jurisdiction of the case as it stands, because the order just cited is not a final decree. Something yet remains to be done in order to make it such, and that action depends upon whether or not the •complainants will comply with the order to bring in the sum due on the mortgage. If that order is complied with, then a decree should be made upon the hypothesis on which the order was made in favor of the complainants in the bill, and quieting their title. If, however, the money is not brought into court, then according to the theory of the order, the bill of complaint should be dismissed. But •even assuming the right of the court to make the order, as well as its validity, the circumstances under which the bill of conrplaint is to be dismissed, or the relief granted to the complainants named therein, and the sum to be paid, are matters which are yet to be determined, which may turn out either one way or the other, and which when ascertained, will be the foundation for a final decree. There is no final decree as the matter now stands.””
