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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In this case the plaintiff had, before the filing of his bill, a lien by attachment and a judgment. There was no necessity for the levy of an execution. It would have answered no beneficial purpose. It was not necessary to give a lien. That had already accrued from the levy of the attachment, and it was not necessary for a sale, for a sale was not desired. * * * The authorities do not place the right to go into equity upon the ground that the complainants must show themselves to be creditors by judgment, but they go on the ground that they must show a lien upon the property, and this lien exists as well by the levy of an attachment as by execution.””
