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.
““Conclusion of Law No. 1. “The acts for which a Court of the United States, sitting in equity, will on account of fraud deprive a party of the benefit of a judgment rendered, between the same parties, by a State Court of competent jurisdiction have relation to frauds, extrinsic or collateral, to the matter tried by the State Court, and not to a fraud in the matter on which the judgment was rendered. Extrinsic fraud operates not upon matters pertaining to the judgment itself, but relates to the manner in which it is procured. Extrinsic fraud is any fraudulent conduct of the successful party which is practiced outside of an actual adversary trial, and which is practiced directly and affirmatively upon the defeated party, or his agents, attorneys or witnesses, whereby such defeated party is prevented from presenting fully and fairly his side of the case. “Conclusion of Law No. 2. “Courts of the United States, sitting in equity, will not deprive a party of the benefit of a judgment, rendered between the same parties, by a State Court of competent jurisdiction, on account of intrinsic fraud, such as forged instruments, or perjured testimony, introduced as evidence in the actual adversary trial, or other fraudulent conduct which was practiced during the course of the trial, but which had no effect to mislead the defeated party to his injury after he announced that he was ready to proceed with the trial, and which did not prevent such party from fully presenting his side of the case”
