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.
““Although the distinction between- supplemental bills and original bills seems to rest upon purely artificial reasons, it is well recognized, and is attended in practice with consequences which affect the substantial rights of parties. If the cestuis que trustent had not transferred all their interest in the subject-matter, and there had: been simply a change of trustees by operation of law, or if there had been only a partial alienation of the title of Campbell, a supplemental bill might lie. As it is, the demurrer must he sustained.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The principle is elementary that a complainant, suing in his own right and alone, cannot, after he has parted with his whole interest in the subject-matter of the litigation, further prosecute the action.”.”
