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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As in suits in equity, the case must be tried anew in the appellate tribunal, any change or any modification or any reversal of the decree by this court would necessarily have the effect to disturb or to destroy the ratable proportion established by it to be distributed among the depositors and render a new division necessary. It would follow that all the depositors who were parties to the suit in the trial court would have a substantial interest to be affected by such decree of the appellate tribunal as to render their presence necessary.”
