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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ Upon the discontinuance, the duties of the assignee necessarily cease, except so far as may be necessary to remit the parties to their rights as they existed before the assignment, in respect to the residuum of the estate. Upon this being done the debtor again has his estate, except so far as administered, liable to be taken in satisfaction of his indebtedness, precisely as if no assignment had been made, and each creditor stands upon the same footing of right to proceed against such estate as such right existed Avhen the assignment was made.””
