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

1. ““The appellant claims that, because an appeal had been taken, the judgment was not a final judgment; or, in other words, his contention is — and he asks us to hold— that a creditor, who has reduced his claim to a judgment in a court having jurisdiction, cannot be allowed to bring an action to set aside a fraudulent conveyance pending an appeal from such judgment, although no undertaking has been given to stay execution. He asks us to hold that a judgment creditor, entitled to an execution, may be deprived of the right to maintain an action like this pending an appeal, which may be delayed for years, and with no security for the final payment of the judgment. We would be loath to follow any case which would sustain such a doctrine,' but to the credit of the law no case has been eited which evert lends countenance to such contention. * * * The law presumes that a judgment, until reversed, is a correct judicial determination of the rights of the parties.””
