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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is generally held tliat, where the statute does not restrict tbe word ‘creditor,’ the courts will not limit its application. A creditor and an in- cumbrancer’ may stand 'in a dual capacity; for an incumbrancer must, at least, be a creditor, although a creditor need not necessarily be an incum-brancer. It seems to us that the more reasonable and just construction of the law would be to construe the term ‘creditor’ with reference to the inception of the obligation of the debtor, rather than to conditions which might afterwards arise.” . ■”
