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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Supreme Court in Evans v. Maury, 112 Pa. 300 , 3 A. 850 , held that the lower court had no power in a summary proceeding, as upon a rule to show cause to set aside a sheriff's sale, to compel a purchaser to surrender possession of the land and to deliver his deed therefor; that the purchaser's title was good until it was proved to be procured by fraud upon the defendant in the execution, and this must be done either in an action of ejectment or bill in equity.”
