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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Why, then, is the mortgage given upon such property? Evidently the better to enable the mortgagor to enjoy the benefit thereof, at the expense of the creditors. Were there no creditors of the mortgagor, there would be no object in giving or taking mortgages accompanied with such an agreement (i. e., an agreement to sell without using the proceeds of sale to reduce the mortgage.)””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In re Volence““If a mortgage be given with the fraudulent intent to cover up and conceal from creditors a portion of the debtor’s property, it is altogether void, notwithstanding it also includes land or other property in relation to which there is a bona fide intent to convey it as security for an honest debt, and no other purpose and intent.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Eastman v. Parkinson
