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.
““Appellants claim that while a certificate such as the one here in question is not assignable at law, still all beneficial interest therein may be transferred in equity, and that such equitable rights may be enforced in a court of equity. This doctrine is upheld in Royal Arcanum v. Tracy, 169 Ill. 123 ; McGrew v. McGrew, supra, and Jarvis v. Binkley, 206 Ill. 541 ; also in Bacon on Benefit Societies, sec. 306a; Kimball v. Lester, 43 N. Y. App. Div. 27, and Smith v. N. B. Society, 123 N. Y. 85 . “Appellees claim that the doctrine laid down in those decisions just cited from this State is not the law here now, because the statute as to mutual benefit societies has been changed since the majority of these decisions were rendered. We do not agree with this contention.””
