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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An irregularity in the conduct of the sale, such as failure to give the notice required by statute or to post notices of the sale at the courthouse door, has been held insufficient to render the sale void on collateral attack. Bonner v. Lockhart , 236 Ala. 171 , 181 So. 767 [ (1938) ]; Code 1940, Tit. 7, §§ 531, 536. This being a direct attack on the levy and sale in a court of equity[,] the allegations of the bill challenging the sufficiency of the notices, for the levy and sale under the statute, (Code 1923, §§ 7819, 7825), are not sufficient in that they fail to allege injury. Ray's Adm'r v. Womble , 56 Ala. 32 [ (1876) ]."”
