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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

A redemption is complete when one having the right to redeem pays in proper time, to a proper person,— ‘the sum which was bid * * * with interest from the time of the sale at the rate per cent, borne by the mortgage, * * * and in case such payment is made to the register of deeds, the sum of one dollar as a fee.’ * * * 3 Comp.
