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.

1. ““* * * [The bank] seems to claim that the lien of the mortgage was extended thereby to cover the proceeds of that part of the property which had not been included in the mortgage. No authority is cited in support of this claim, and we know of none supporting it. “A promise to apply the proceeds of specified property upon a particular debt gives no lien upon such proceeds, and no right to the promisee to pursue that particular fund, until the promisor has appropriated it to the promisee by applying it as a payment on the debt.””
