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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the first case, the property Was - seized ■upon the claim that the sale' from Campbell to Purcell was fraudulent, and therefore void as to creditors. In the second action, the same property was' seized upon the claim that the- sale was valid and that Purcell, having obtained possession of the property under such valid sale and upon a promise to ■ pay the debts of Campbell, .was now fraudulently seeking to repudiate. such obligation. In other words, if both actions are maintainable, and both orders of attachment are to be iip-held, thé s¿me property'is to be twice seized in payment of debts contracted originally by the same party.””
