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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * [U]pon reflection, I am satisfied the proceeding is wrong upon principle wrong, not only, because the money is not the money of the defendant in attachment, until it has been paid over to him by the sheriff, or in some other way definitively designated as his, or appropriated exclusively to his use; but wrong, because it would lead to embarrassment and confusion, to permit one process of the court to intercept moneys raised on another, while in the hands of the officer. But more than this, it might frequently lead to injustice.”
