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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The usual and proper method of attacking a levy is by motion to quash it in the court under whose writ it is made, where such course will furnish adequate relief (2 Freeman on Executions [3d Ed.], § 271a), and along the same line it was held in Campau v. Godfrey, 18 Mich. 27 ( 100 Am. Dec. 133 ), that one who complains of a levy upon his property should move for relief in the court which issued the execution rather than by a bill in equity.””
