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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The doctrine may be stated in its most general form that every express execu-tory agreement in writing, whereby the contracting party sufficiently indicates an intention to make some particular property, real or personal, or fund, therein described and identified, security for a debt or other obligation ... created an equitable lien upon the property so indicated which is enforceable against the property.... Under like circumstances a mere verbal agreement may create a similar lien upon personal propeHy.”
