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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““That a judgment creditor may, notwithstanding a conveyance of his real estate by the judgment debtor, made with intent to-hinder, delay, or defraud creditors, levy upon and sell the real estate, there is no question. As to the creditor, to defraud whom the conveyance is made, it is void (G. S. c. 41, § 18 [G. S. 1894, § 4222]), and is of no effect whatever in the way of passing the title. The title, for the purpose of enabling creditors to enforce their debts against the real estate, still remains in the grantor, as though the conveyance had not been made; and it is equally clear that the creditor who has proceeded to enforce his debt against the real estate, or any one claiming through such proceedings, may show the conveyance to be void, as against such proceedings, whenever any one shall claim under such conveyance, and in opposition to the creditor’s proceedings, or the title derived through them.””
