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.
““There is really no ground for saying that Staring [Hix-ton-Bank trustees] purchased . . . [the land involved at the sale] for the benefit of King [Larson], It must be assumed that he [they] purchased it for himself [themselves], and that he [they] took the land discharged of the mortgage. And this being the case, we suppose King [Larson] might acquire that interest, whatever it was, without subjecting the property again to the lien of the mortgage. The interest which he [they] acquired was a new and independent one.””
