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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As against Parmelee, Everts & Co., who purchased before the expiration of the year from the first filing of the mortgage, no re-filing with a statement was necessary. It was held in Meech v. Patchin, 14 N. Y. 71 , that the omission to re-file a chattel mortgage, pursuant to the third section of the act on that subject (Laws of 1833, p. 402), does not render it invalid against purchasers or mortgagees, intermediate the original filing and the ending of the year; and that the term ‘subsequent/ in the provision in that section, that ‘every mortgage filed in pursuance of this act shall cease to be valid as against the creditors of the person making the same, or against subsequent purchasers or mortgagees in good faith, after the expiration of one year from the filing thereof, unless/ etc., means subsequent to the expiration of the year; that is, after the time of re-filing has elapsed.””
