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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The judgment nowhere entitles- [Twichell'] to contribution from his five co-obligors who were solvent in the event the sheriff collected the whole amount of said judgment, or more than his pro rata share thereof [i. e., one-sixth, since three were insolvent] from him. This would entitle him to a correction and a reformation of the judgment [i. e., so as to give him contribution].””
