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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“when a person holds two claims secured by liens on the same land, and a foreclosure of one of said liens is obtained by him, and the property sold thereunder, the purchaser takes the land discharged of the other lien, and acquires the title of both plaintiff and defendant in the judgment. This is true, although the purchaser pays less than the actual value of the land, and has notice at the time of his purchase of the existence of such other outstanding lien in favor of the judgment creditor, at whose instance the sale is made.”
