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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems to have been the intention of the framers of that statute [creating supplementary proceedings] to provide a summary process for the discovery and application to the judgment, of property subject to execution, concealed and withheld by the debtor, or others in collusion with him, without pretending when it came to a test under oath, to assert any substantial ground therefor. But where the property alleged to belong to the judgment debtor is claimed by others, either by way of absolute title or pledge or mortgage, . . . such claims of ownership . . . [or] lien . . . cannot be adjudicated and determined summarily, and the property ordered applied to the judgment, with none of the usual formalities of forming issues and trial guaranteed as applicable to the determination of property rights.” 8”
