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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The interest of a partner in partnership property, whether real or personal property, is his interest in the net balance after deducting from the whole the debts thereof, and after adjusting the equities between the partners. While the legal title to lands may be in the several members of a partnership, yet the title to the lands is held by the partners as trustees, first, to pay the creditors thereon; and, second, to adjust the equity between the partners according to their several interests. And while at law they will be presumed to be equal partners where there is no reservation in the deed, yet in equity the land so held is just as much a part of the partnership assets as the personal estate, and is amenable to creditors in the same manner. (156 Miss, at 432, 433, 125 So. at 556 ).”
