These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Now, It has been held by this court, in several eases recently decided, that, while a married woman may borrow money for her own use, etc., and secure the same by a. valid mortgage, yet that she cannot do this for the benefit of her husband, provided the lender has knowledge of such intended use. This has been so recently and so plainly decided that we do not deem it necessary here to examine into the reason and foundation of the proposition. We think it sufficient simply to refer to the cases, to wit: Tribble v. Poor (S. C.) 8 S. E. 641 ; Gwynn v. Gwynn (S. C.) 10 S. E. 221 ; Greig v. Smith, 29 S. C. 426 , 7 S. E. 610 . If these cases have not established this proposition beyond controversy or doubt, then we do not know how a legai proposition could be established; certainly not by the decisions of a court of last resort.””
