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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the land is bano fide sold in the lifetime of a husband to satisfy a lien or incumbrance thereon, created by deed in which the wife is united, or for the purchase money thereof, whether she has united therein or not, or created before the marriage, or otherwise paramount to the claim of the wife, she shall have no right to be endowed in the said land. But if a surplus of the proceeds of sale remain after satisfying the said lien or incumbrance or purchase money, she shall be entitled to dower in said surplus, and a court of equity having jurisdiction of the ease may make such order as may seem to it proper to secure her right.””
