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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the ordinary action to declare a resulting trust, title to real estate is involved; that is to say, where the petition asks that by reason of a resulting trust the title to real estate be decreed out of one person and decreed to be in another. The petition in this case does not so proceed. The pleader seemed to realize that there was more money in the property than the money belonging to the alleged trust fund, so that the pleader only asked that the alleged trust fund be made a lien upon the property.”
