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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It appears that the policies are now in the state of New York, hut the indebtedness is by a corporation of the state of Wisconsin. As to these policies, the suit does not seek to enforce ‘any legal or equitable lien upon or claim to any property either real or personal’; neither does it seek ‘to remove any incumbrance, lien, or cloud upon the title to any real or personal property.’ Even if the insurance policies in issue could be said to be, in any fair sense, such personal property as is contemplated by the statute, the policies are in the state of New York, and not in this district.””
