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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tbe plaintiff has no interest in them [the dividends] derived by assignment from the shareholders, and no transfer of the shares has ever been made to him by Dnraut. His claim rests solely upon his appointment as commissioner. Although called a ‘commissioner’ in the decree, it is evident that his powers and duties are solely those of a receiver. * * * It was decided in the case of Booth v. Clark, 17 How. 322 , a decision binding in this court, that a receiver appointed by a court of chancery, being a mere officer and servant of the court appointing him, and having no title to the fund by assignment or conveyance, or other lien or interest than that derived from his appointment, cannot, in his own name, maintain a suit in another jurisdiction to recover the fund, even when expressly authorized by the decree appointing him to bring suits in his own name. This, of itself, is a fatal objection to the suit.””
