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

1. ““Equity acts in personam and, broadly speaking, may enjoin from illegal doings those of whom it has jurisdiction in personam. Hamilton County Chancery Court did have jurisdiction in personam of tbe Browns in this case. Broadly speaking, therefore, it may have bad jurisdiction to enjoin them from cutting timber on property belonging to complainant. Tbe Chancellor seemed to so think. Based on that fact, and on tbe further rule that if equity takes jurisdiction for one purpose it has jurisdiction for all purposes, Carter makes another insistence. It is that Hamilton County Chancery bad jurisdiction in this case to declare champer-tous and void the deed to land located entirely beyond the boundaries of Hamilton County, because it had jurisdiction (so it is said) to enjoin the Browns from cutting this timber. “The insistence immediately above stated must be rejected”.”
