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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under our statute * * * a receiver will be appointed where there is danger of loss or misappropriation of the property, or a material part thereof, of a debtor; but this is only done in a proper pending case. It certainly must be at tbe instance of some one wbo bas a right to chai'ge tbe property, and tbe statute does not mean to extend this remedy to every one wbo claims to be a common creditor. Equity must bave jurisdiction, independent of tbe appointment of a receiver.””
