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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The contract, then, really amounts to nothing more than a charge of the estate with a lien which may be enforced in a court of equity. There is no conveyance, either legal or equitable, to the Ralstons. There is no transfer of legal or equitable title to them. They could not, like a mortgagee, sue for and recover the property in any tribunal. As well might it be said that the vendor’s lien, or any other lien or charge, which may be enforced in equity, comes within the registration laws. In New York it is possible a different rule might prevail, because in that state ‘any writing in the nature of a mortgage’ is required to be recorded; and it is in reference to that statute that the decision in Parkist v. Alexander, 1 Johns. Ch. 394 , is made.””
