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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There may be circumstances attending conveyances and transfers to hinder, delay, and defraud creditors, which are in law denominated “badges of fraud.” They do not in themselves constitute fraud, but are rather signs or indicia from which the existence of fraud may be properly inferred as a matter of evidence. Badges of fraud are not conclusive but are strong or weak, according to their number and concurrence in the same case. They may be overcome by evidence establishing the bona fides of the transaction. Whether badges of fraud shown in the evidence are sufficient to establish the fact that the conveyance in question was fraudulent is a matter for the jury to decide,”
