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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In this case there was no conveyance by the deceased, but the deed of the land sought to be subjected to the payment of his debts by this process was executed by a stranger to the defendant, and that, too, at a time when the deceased had no creditors who could complain of such a deed, even if the purchase money was furnished by the deceased, and not by the defendant. It certainly does not come within the strict letter of the statute. But it is not necessary in this case to pass upon this question.””
