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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“as [the landowner] had sold and conveyed the lot in controversy ... long prior to the date of the judgment, he had no title or interest in it, at that time or afterward, to become the subject of a judgment lien.
