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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““where the decree sought is in personam, and may be carried into effect by process of contempt [in which] the Court of Chancery here may have jurisdiction, although it may affect land lying in another State, the defendant being in the State of Maryland, as in a case of trust, or fraud, or of contract. ... In such a case, the decree does not act directly upon the land, but upon the defendant here, and within the jurisdiction of the Court.””
