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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The ease is distinguishable from that of Banning v. Bradford, supra ( 21 Minn. 308 , 18 Am. Rep. 398 ), by the fact that the adverse title which is the subject of this adjudication was acquired subsequent to the mortgage. The original validity of the mortgage was not brought in question, but the tax-title, if valid, had the effect to relieve the land from the incumbrance of the mortgage, and to extinguish the right of the mortgagee to the remedy here sought; that is, to have the land sold for the satisfaction of his debt. Whether the lien of the mortgage had been thus extinguished, depended upon the validity of the tax-title. In an action in which it is sought to enforce the mortgage through a judgment for a sale of the premises, we recognize no impropriety in an adjudication as to the validity of the title asserted by the defendant, and which, if valid, has, in effect, superseded or extinguished the lien of the mortgage. Such a fact would be a sufficient reason why the mortgage should not be enforced by a decree for the sale of the premises.””
