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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“that under the statute of the State of Missouri concerning voluntary^ass i gnm ents, when property was disposed of in entirety or substantially — that is, the entire property of the debtor, he being insolvent — it fell within the provisions of the assignment law. The very purpose of the law was that no. preference should be given. No matter by what name the end is sought to be effected, it is in violation of that statute. You may call it a mortgage, or you may make a confession of judgment, or use any other contrivance, by whatever name known, if the purpose is to dispose of an insolvent debtor’s estate, whereby a preference is to be effected, it is in violation of the statute.”
