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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is insisted, because tliere was some perishable property' included in the deed, that this shows it to be fraudulent per se. The plain object of the deed, while not permitting the debtor to defeat it, was to permit him to proceed with the hotel business and. presumably to make the money to pay off Ms indebtedness. This Is admitted in the allegations of the bill. In carrying on this business, it would be necessary for him to use up the eatables and drinkables on hand and continually to purchase others to supply the place of those used. Otherwise all the other property would he useless to him. To cover the things so used, it is provided in the deed that it shall extend over any property hereafter acquired to take the place of the property herein mentioned. Tile plain object of these provisions was not to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors, but was to keep the security good. The amounts thereof being small in comparison with the residue' of the property, and the object of including it in the deed being apparent, does not render the deed fraudulent upon its face.””
