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

1. “Where tenants in common give a joint mortgage on the common property, the lien attaches to the moieties of the mortgagors in the property, as an entirety. As a general rule, the holder of any one of these constituent moieties is entitled, in a foreclosure suit brought against him alone, to demand that the other moiety holders be brought in as parties to the suit .... The reason for the rule is obvious. The sale of an undivided interest or moiety does not ordinarily bring as good a proportionate price as the sale of the entirety. By executing the mortgage, neither of the mortgagors assumes the risk of loss in this respect, and the mortgagee has no right, over timely objection made, to impose this risk on either of them.”
