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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The maker of the note purchased of the payee the real estate, a lien upon which is in question, and also a stock of liquors, two billiard tables, bar fixtures, furniture, etc., for the gross sum of $2,526, $1,900 of which was paid at the time the deed of conveyance was made, and the note of $600, now in suit, was given for the balance, less $26, which was paid after the note was executed. The real estate at the time of the sale was estimated at the value of $1,600, and the personal property at $926. At the time the payments were made, nothing was said by either party whether they should be applied to the payment of the real qr personal property; and no such application was made by either party. The money was paid upon the whole debt.””
