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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The artitle in question simply provides that, if the debtor, who has granted the mortgage, is absent and not represented in •the State, the Judge, at the request of the ¡plaintiff, shall appoint him an attorney, to ••whom notice of the demand shall be given •in the manner directed, and contrarily with •whom the seizure and sale shall be prosecuted. It does not say on proof of the •absence, and we are not informed of any law requiring such antecedent proof.””
