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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have not, in the present state of the pleadings, considered the rights of the respondent bank from the standpoint of a bona fide purchaser for value of the mortgaged property. If upon answer and proof it should so appear, it seems clear that redemption from the bank’s mortgage would be a prerequisite to redemption from the original pledgee; the amount paid therefor being theoretically applied as a credit on the debt due to the pledgee. There would be no practical difficulty here, however, since the mortgage debt is less than the pledge debt, and a decree for redemption against both respondents jointly, and for prior payment of the mortgage debt, would do full equity in any case.””
