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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial court found, however, that the judgment remains unpaid. Why then should the judgment creditor be denied an execution? It may be conceded that the legislature might provide that judgments shall be kept alive as causes of action after the right to take out execution has expired; but in this state no time has been fixed beyond which execution may not issue, unless §307, supra, be construed as fixing such time. To put on said section the construction for which counsel contend would create, with respect to other sections to which we have referred, an incongruity which ought not to exist.”.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The limitation on judgments is fixed by §295, Burns 1914, §293, R. S. 1881, which provides that actions thereon shall be brought within twenty years and not afterward. To avail himself of §295, a litigant must plead the limitation therein prescribed; and to avail himself of the presumption created by §307, supra, he must plead payment.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Appellant has directed our attention to a case in which there is a general statement to the effect that a judgment cannot be enforced after twenty years. Brown v. Wuskoff (1889), 118 Ind. 569, 577 , 19 N. E. 243 . But it should be understood that in any case general statements of law must be tested by the facts of that case.””
