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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This exception leaves in tlie mortgagor a proportionate interest in each article mortgaged as ÍS200 is to the whole value oí the property, uncertain and unsevered, and which is unseverable and incommutable, except by some future act of the parties, or the mortgage leaves a right of future selection of any of the property to the mortgagor of the value of ¡¡>200, the residue of which can be ascertained only by such selection; and, in either view, such uncertainty of description renders the mortgage void.””
