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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The conveyance ol' Williamson, however fraudulent against his creditors, was valid against him and his heirs. At his death the land constituted no part of Ms estate, nor could the administrator, who represented his interests, undertake to set it aside; nor had the county court any jurisdiction over the matter. The sale, therefore, under the order of the county court conveyed no title.””
