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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where property is seized on execution, and is sold, and the writ of • execution is duly returned, and a motion to confirm the sale is filed, a third person, a stranger to the action, who claims to own the property so seized and sold, may not file a motion to set aside the sale nor an objection to the confirmation of the sale on the ground that he and not the judgment debtor owned the property sold; but such third person should pursue some legal or equitable remedy for the recovery of his property.””
