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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fact that the remedy is summary, however, and that it was manifestly intended by the legislature that the plaintiff in the ouster proceeding, if he should prevail, should not be postponed in the enjoyment of his judgment by protracted proceedings in review of the judgment, is a fact which should put the Chancellor on guard against relaxing in such cases the general principles governing the equity jurisdiction in bills to enjoin proceedings at law, lest resort to equity might be encouraged as a means, if not of trying the law suit, at least of defeating the expeditious progress of it which the statute is intended to secure.”
