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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Really the only matter before us that calls for a word is the decision that a judgment, appropriating property within the jurisdiction to payment of the owner’s debt, which would be good if the property itself were the defendant, is not made bad by the short and somewhat illusory notice to the owner. Upon this point, the court below relied upon the above § 2114 and Pennoyer v. Neff, 95 U. S. 714, 727 , 24 L. Ed. 565, 570 .””
