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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the two lots had been sold or mortgaged to different persons, it might be necessary as between them, and to settle their respective liabilities to contribution, to ascertain as well as could be, the value of the materials used on each lot. . . . In this case as the Association is the assignee of the whole property subject to the plaintiffs lien, it can scarcely be material to distribute the burthen [archaic] between the several lots. If it becomes material, that can hereafter be done.”
