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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A pledge is a transfer merely of the possession of personal property, and not of the title, as security for the payment of some debt or the performance of some obligation by the pledgor, the pledgor retaining his title and the pledgee having only a special property in the property pledged, with power to retain it until the debt is paid or the obligation performed in accordance with the terms of the pledge contract, and with power to sell or otherwise dispose of it in case of default on the part of the pledgor, and the pled-gor having the right to redeem at any time, in accordance with the terms of the contract.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““ ‘One of the reasons, and probably the chief reason, for the alleged general rule that a deposit of the thing pledged is an indispensable attribute of a valid pledge, is that such a pledge is indispensable to prevent the possession by the pledgor of the thing pledged from giving to him a false credit, just as the failure to deliver personal property sold causes a false credit to the vendor and avoids the sale.’ Pierce v. National Bank of Commerce (C.C.A.) 268 F. 487, 492 .” In re Rogers, supra, 20 F.Supp. at 128 .”
