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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the holder of a mortgage acquires the fee by conveyance from the mortgagor or a subsequent owner of the mortgaged premises, personal liability will be held to have been extinguished where a contrary intention does not appear.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“where there is an outstanding, hostile interest as where a mortgagor, who is liable, conveys the fee to the mortgagee ... [i]t is very greatly to his interest that his personal liability be extinguished.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage
