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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a creditor calls in question a conveyance made by bis debtor, upon the ground of fraud, in an action between him and the grantee, the demand of the creditor must he subject to examination, in order to see whether he has a right, as such, to question the validity of the conveyance. If a judgment has been obtained by Mm, still, as between him and the grantee, who is no party to it, it will not be regarded as precluding the latter from an examination of the ground of it. The grantee may be allowed to show that it was obtained by fraud, or that the cause of action accrued under circumstances which would not give the creditor a right to impeach the conveyance.””
