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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute does not, in terms, require the notice of the lien to state that a credit has been given, where such is the case; but, as the chief object of filing the notice in the recorder’s office, and having it recorded, is to give notice to the public of the fact, nature and character of the lien, we think it should state the credit, where it has been given; and that, if it do not, subsequent purchasers may act on the theory that none was given. The notice of the lien, it seems to us, should state the fact and length of the credit, where credit has been given, so that subsequent purchasers may know within what time an action must be brought to enforce the lien. If the notice of the lien do not state that a credit has been given, it may well be assumed by subsequent purchasers or encumbrancers that none was given, and that the action to enforce the lien would have to be brought within the time limited, in case no credit was given.””
