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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is clear that a certified copy of the original writ of attachment in this case was not posted as required by Article 254 of the Code of Practice, and that the service of said writ on the garnishee was illegal, and of no effect. Nothing .was therefore levied upon in his hands, no actual seizure of any debt due by him, if any, was accomplished and no jurisdiction was acquired.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Parry v. Cox““Where the original citation and writ of attachment after service are returned to the clerk’s office by the sheriff and duly filed, they cannot again be issued or served. Plaintiff’s remedy is to apply to the court for an alias writ, which can only issue upon making a new oath, receiving a new order and making a new bond.””
