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.
““It is true that, under this statute, the legislature has authorized the court in’this proceeding, where it is properly commenced and the proper parties are before the court, to determine whether, under the provisions,of the act, the garnishees’ holding of the property shall not be held void as against the plaintiffs in the principal suit, even though it may be in good faith and valid between the garnishee defendants and the defendant in the principal suit; and to the extent that this may be done the proceeding must be governed by equitable principles, and it never can be done in this proceeding, or any other, until all persons, whether natural or artificial, who have substantial interests in the property, have been in some manner properly brought before the court.””
