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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Jurisdiction of the federal courts is not defeated by suggestions that other parties are jointly liable with the defendants, provided it appears that such other parties are out of the jurisdiction' of the court (Act Feb. 28, 1839). * * * Under that law, therefore, without more, it is clear that, if Buchanan and Eastman had not been made parties to the suit, it might have been regularly prosecuted against the other defendant in his lifetime, and after his decease might have been revived and prosecuted against his administrator; and it is equally clear that, by the law of the state and the rule of the court adopting the same, it was competent for the plaintiff under the circumstances to discontinue as to Buchanan and Eastman, and proceed against the administrator of the other partner. Beyond question, therefore, it was a valid judgment upon a partnership debt.” And see Hill v. Tucker, 13 How. 458 , 14 L. Ed. 223 .”
