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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“•‘The provision is not that the attachment may be made, as in case of real estate, by leaving a copy. Rev. Stat. c. 184, § 3; Kittredge v. Bellows, 7 N. H. 427 . Indeed, no attempt is made to change the mode of making the attachment, but a new and easier method of preserving it is provided. Before this statute there was not so much difficulty in making as in preserving attachments of the various articles enumerated in the fourteenth section of chapter 184. Hemmenway v. Wheeler, 14 Pick. (Mass.) 410 [ 25 Am. Dec. 411 ]; Sanderson v. Edwards, 16 Pick. (Mass.) 144 ; Reed v. Howard, 2 Metc. (Mass.) 38; Shepard v. Butterfield, 4 Cush. (Mass.) 425 [ 50 Am. Dec. 796 ]; Bicknell v. Trickey, 34 Me. 273 ; Miller v. Baker, 1 Metc. (Mass.) 32. As the statute has only provided a new mode of preserving attachments of the articles specified, it is still essential to a valid attachment of them that they should be taken into the possession or placed under the control of the officer. Odiorne v. Colley, 2 N. H. 66 [ 9 Am. Dec. 39 ]; Huntington v. Blaisdell, 2 N. H. 318 , 319; Chadbourne v. Sumner, 16 N. H. 132 [ 41 Am. Dec. 720 ].””
