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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It may be objected that this was nbt an action for relief on the ground of fraud; that it was simply a proceeding against a garnishee; but legal proceedings, like things, are what they are in essence and not what they may be named. The essential thing in this proceeding was that the plaintiff desired to be relieved from the legal consequences of the execution- of these conveyances, and for this purpose he charged that they were fraudulently' made. That he charged this by his evidence, rather than by a formal petition, could make no difference in the nature and essence of his action, nor limit the right of the party against whom the relief was sought to urge the bar of the statute of limitations.” (Nelson v. Stull, 65 Kan. 585, 591 , 68 Pac. 617 , 70 Pac. 590 .)”
