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

1. ““A father may advance his son by a conveyance of his land, even without other consideration than the relation between them, which is a good, though it is not a valuable, consideration; but he must do so with due respect to the rights of others, and if these be injured the conveyance is void as to them. If the grantor be indebted at the time, or is about to become indebted, and act with a view to protect his property from such debt—much more if he be on the verge of insolvency—he cannot, by a conveyance to his son, deprive his creditors of their right to proceed against his property.””

2. ““The answer to this is that, without any proof of intention, the fraud which vitiates this transaction attaches to the conveyance itself, as one which operates in fact to the injury of creditors, and is, therefore, prohibited by the .statute of 13 Elizabeth as legally fraudulent.””
