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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In equity, however, when the surety, or, upon the same principle, a subsequent incumbrancer or any other person having an interest in the property affected, by the liens, pays off the debt of his principal, or of the common debtor, as the ease may be, for the protection of the property liable for, the debt, he is subrogated to the rights of the creditor whose debt he has paid and to all securities held by him, without a formal assignment.””
