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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It would at least show that there was a transfer to secure the payment of Isaac’s [the mortgagor’s] debt, if not in satisfaction thereof, and that would vest sufficient title and possession in the.plaintiff. At that time the bank had acquired no lien, no execution having issued upon its judgment theretofore entered until at a date subsequent to the plaintiff’s acquisition of title.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In re Beede““While the mortgagee cannot enforce a void chattel mortgage against the creditors of the mortgagor, yet, if the mortgagor treats it as void, and, before the creditors obtain a lien, transfers the property to the mortgagee in payment of a debt, the transaction will hold.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In re Beede““In that situation, plaintiff’s right to the goods was superior to the bank’s; for it rested, not upon the void chattel mortgage, but upon an independent transfer of possession by the mortgagor.””
