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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“All the authorities agree that although as between the original parties a sale and delivery of goods obtained by fraud, is void, (voidable) and may be rescinded at the election of the vendor, and the property reclaimed from the fraudulent vendee; yet, if they have passed into the hands of a bona fide purchaser without notice, he takes a good title, which cannot be impeached by the defrauded vendor. It is not necessary to cite authorities in support of this proposition, we have said there is no conflict upon this question and the principle has been recognized by the Court of Appeals expressly in Powell v. Bradlee, 9 G. J. 221, and incidentally in Ratcliff v. Sangston, 18 Md. 390 .”
