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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant contends that the inchoate right of dower of bankrupt’s wife should, in determining the value of the equity, be considered a lien upon the land. This might be true if the property were to be reconveyed to the bankrupt, but a court of equity does not require a useless thing. . . . The wife of the bankrupt has voluntarily, for a consideration that was satisfactory to her, released her inchoate right of dower.””
