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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ '* * * “the debt being due in (Canada) its situs was there, and could not be reached in (Oregon) by garnishment (is untenable).” “ ‘While it is true that for certain purposes the situs of a debt is at the residence of the creditor, it is certainly not true that the collection of the debt cannot be enforced in the state where the debtor resides. Under our statute a creditor may have an attachment against his debtor where he is a nonresident of this state.’ ” Pierce v. Pierce, 153 Or. 248, 253 , 56 P.2d 336, 339 . “New York Life Insurance Company * * * (by) transacting business in this state, has therefore submitted itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state for all necessary purposes.” 4”

2. ““‘[T]hat the right to garnish a debtor is not limited to the situs of the chose in action, and a garnishment by a citizen of one state of a debtor of the same state, whose creditor resides (or), whose debt was contracted and is payable in another state, is such an attachment of the chose in action as will authorize the court to obtain jurisdiction to dispose of it * * *.’ [Citing] Tootle v. Coleman, 46 C.C.A. 132 [10 Cir.] 107 F. 41, 44 , 57 L.R.A. 120 .””
