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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “a volunteer purchaser (noncreditor purchaser) who gets title to goods sold or conveyed to hinder, delay or defraud creditors of the vendor in the enforcement of their claims, can acquire no right to the property against such creditors, if he either knew of, or participated in the purpose of his vendor, when the transaction was consummated, and this, too, irrespective of the fact that he may have paid full value for the goods. Nor could he acquire a valid title, if, after such a sale, but before payment of the price, he learned of said fraud and failed to withhold payment, provided his obligation to pay had not become so fixed, by a transfer of negotiable paper evidencing it, or otherwise, that he could not legally resist its enforcement.”

2. “such a transaction (as was there) was necessarily voidable at the instance of creditors, irrespective of the payment by the buyer of the full value of the goods, and also irrespective of the fact that the vendor assigned the notes which he received for the price of the goods to the holder of a valid demand against himself .”
