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

1. “In our state husband and wife may each own property just as separate and distinct from the other, as they could if not married, may conduct business transactions concerning it, and make conveyances, one to the other, the same as if dealing with third persons. But the relationship between them is so intimate and confidential that when a debtor conveys property to his wife when he is insolvent, or if the transfer will render him insolvent, or prevent creditors from collecting their claims, and the conveyance is impeached or attacked by creditors, then the husband and wife are obliged to establish on the trial by clear and satisfactory evidence, the honesty of the transaction; that it was made in good faith for a valuable consideration and without intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors.' If they fail to do this, the conveyance will be set aside, (citations omitted).”
