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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A decree for executory process is not a judgment, in any sense of the word, within the meaning of the authorities cited; for it decides nothing, — no more than an order for a conservatory writ of any description. It has been held to be a judgment only so far that an appeal lies from it in a proper case. * * * “It is therefore strictly no judgment. It is simply an ex parte order in rem, granted at chambers, without any previous hearing or notice to the ostensible owner of the property directed to be seized and sold to satisfy the debt acknowledged in the authentic form.””
