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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was essential to their right to maintain the suit in behalf of the Trust that the shareholders who had transferred their preferred shares should be restored to their former status as shareholders in the Trust, and such relief was incidental to the main relief sought. The seeking of such incidental relief in a suit which had a common point of litigation, the decision of which would affect the whole subject-matter and settle the rights of all the parties thereto, would not render the bill multifarious.””
