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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The mortgagee in possession is liable to the mortgagor for timber cut and removed from the premises during such possession at the instance or by permission of the said mortgagee, and for his benefit, and is compelled to credit the proceeds, or the market value, upon the mortgage debt, (citing cases) Where the mortgagee is not in possession, he is still liable to the mortgagor for timber which is cut upon the premises at his instance or through his agency and for his benefit, in the absence of a special agreement with the mortgagor, which would relieve him from such liability, whether the cutting is done with or without the consent of the owner and mortgagor.””
