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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The foreclosure decree did not dispose of the fund. ■ It remained in custodia legis until a formal order disposing of it was made by the court. The order should have awarded the fund to Wilson to apply on the deficiency instead of in lieu of damages. However, in view of the remittitur by Wilson and its recital in the order, the proper practical result has been attained.””
