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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has long been well settled, both in this state and elsewhere, that the intent of the assignor in making such an assignment is the material consideration in determining its validity, and that a fraudulent intent on the part Of the assignor will vitiate an assignment, whether such intent appear from the face of the instrument or from extrinsic evidence. It has also been decided in this court, in accordance with the great weight of authority elsewhere, that the assignee under such an assignment does not stand, in the position of an innocent purchaser for a valuable consideration; and therefore the fact that he had no knowledge of the fraudulent intent of his assignor will not cure the fraud.””
