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 statute contemplates that it shall he exercised by the person or persons in whom it resides,— that is, by the holder or holders of the legal title to the mortgage, Bottineau, v. Ætna Life Ins. Co., 31 Minn. 125 ( 16 N. W. 849 ), — provided he or they be qualified to exercise it, by his or their title having been made matter of record; and if there be an assignment of a part interest to one whose assignment is not of record, as he cannot exercise it, and the joining of his name to the foreclosure proceeding can add nothing to it, his name need not be joined, but the power must be exercised by the owner of the remaining interest, who is qualified by his title appearing of record. That is, in the case of an assignment, the power is not to be deemed as fully vested in the assignee, so that he may foreclose, or so that he must join with the others in foreclosing, until his assignment is recorded.””
