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.
““In dealing with trusts of this character, courts will not allow the trust to fail or to be defeated, by the refusal or neglect of the trustee to execute the same; nor for any act or omission of the trustee; nor even for want of a trustee. . . . Trust deeds for the payment of debts have always been favorably regarded in equity, and they will be supported, if possible, notwithstanding any informality which might have invalidated them at law. As far as possible the intention of the parties is to be pursued, and the general object and purpose of the trust will be carried out. No technical construction will be permitted to defeat the interests of the beneficiaries, nor can the trustee after having accepted the trust defeat the same by his own act.” Jamison, Trustee, v. Bancroft, 20 Kan. 169, 183, 184 .)”
