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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Every interest on land, whether legal or equitable, is made subject to levy and sale under execution. Under this provision, appellee might have caused the execution issued upon the judgment * * * to have been levied upon the latter’s interest in the very property here in controversy, and had the same sold in satisfaction thereof. Had this course been pursued, the purchaser thereafter could have maintained an action for the purpose of having his interest in the premises determined.””
