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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In judicial sales in Louisiana the sheriff shall announce that the property is to be sold for cash subject to any mortgage, lien or privilege thereon superior to that of the seizing creditor. C.C.P. 2335. If there is a mortgage, lien or privilege on the property superior to that of the seizing creditor, the purchaser shall pay to the sheriff only that portion of the sale price which exceeds the amount of the superior mortgage, lien or privilege. C.C.P. art. 2374. Said articles accord with articles 679 and 683 of the late Code of Practice. Our law requires that at a judicial sale the purchaser shall bid for the full value of the property with the right to retain in his hands out of said price sufficient money to pay mortgages, liens and privileges superior to that of the seizing creditor. * * * At any rate, . .. it becomes incumbent upon the adjudica-tee to pay up superior mortgages, liens and privileges in order to perfect an unencumbered title to the property.””
