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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The decision of the District Court that the lien by mortgage claimed by the appellant could not be enforced against the trustee who had seized the property which constituted the security for his debt was a final decision. It rendered the question of the mortgagee’s right to his security res adjudicata. It finally determined a separate collateral controversy distinct from the general subject of litigation in the proceeding in bankruptcy. Withenbury v. U. S., 5 Wall. 819 , 18 L. Ed. 613 ; Williams v. Morgan, 111 U. S. 684 , 4 S. Ct. 638 , 28 L. Ed. 559 ; Standley v. Roberts, 8 C. C. A. 305 , 308, 59 F. 836 , 839; Salmon v. Mills, 68 F. 180 , 15 C. C. A. 356 ; Central Trust Co. v. Marietta, etc., Ry. Co., 48 F. 850 , 1 C. C. A. 116 ; Grant v. Railroad Co., 50 F. 795 , 1 C. C. A. 681 . If this controversy had arisen in a federal court when it was not sitting in bankrupt cy, the final decision of it would have been reviewable in this court- by writ of error or appeal.””
