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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When the petition has been filed, the action is pending, so as to charge third persons with notice of the pend-ency, and while pending no interest can be acquired by third persons in the subject matter thereof as against the plaintiff’s title, but such notice shall be of no avail unless the summons be served or the first publication made within sixty days after filing of the petition.””
