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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here we have a clear provision of statute taking from the owner of stock the right to transfer it in'accordance with the known rules of the common law, and substituting therefor another and different mode. This change was doubtless made for the purpose of furnishing record evidence of the title, and, in view of the plain and explicit language employed, the statute éannot be disregarded. Under its provisions, we are clearly of the opinion that, notwithstanding the attempted transfer from Ireland to appellant, the stock remained subject to attachment at the suit of the former’s creditors.””
