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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon a creditor’s bill filed to obtain satisfaction of a judgment, after the return of an execution at law unsatisfied, a court of chancery is not authorized to decide upon the regularity of the judgment and execution in the court of law, but in a proper cause the proceedings upon the creditor’s bill will be stayed a sufficient length of time to enable the defendant to apply _ to the court at law for an order to set aside the judgment or execution for irregularity. ’ ’”
