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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a fraud is of a secret nature, and ' in the particular ease has been conceived and executed upon such a plan as to secure continued secrecy, without further acts of'concealment except silence, the statute ought not' to run until there has been a discovery. In such a case it may well be said to have been a continuous concealment. The making of a fraudulent deed, and the keeping of it off the record by all the persons concerned in and cognizant" of ■the transaction, combined with their purposed silence upon the subject, it certainly will not do to say is not a concealment, for which relief may he granted.””
