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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon a former hearing it was held that they derived no such benefit from the act of conversion as to make them liable in assumpsit by reason thereof, but that, under the authority of Brown v. Campbell, 44 Kan. 237 , 24 Pac. 492 , 21 Am. St. Rep. 274 , the record operated to give them constructive notice of the mortgage, and that this had the same effect as actual notice, and rendered them liable as upon contract for .their failure to pay the proceeds of the property to the real owner. A grave doubt as to the correctness of this view of the effect of the record led to the granting of a rehearing. “Upon fuller consideration, we are convinced that all that is said in the case cited regarding the notice imparted by the record of the mortgage is dictum.” (pp. 315, 316.)”
