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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This action is by the assignee of the vendor of five automobile carriages or buss-es which were sold to the Inter-City Automobile Lines of Denver, a corporation, and the object is a foreclosure, as chattel mortgages, of the five written instruments evi dencing the transaction. Whether under the decision in Bailey, Trustee, etc., v. Baker I. M. Co., 239 U.S. 268 , 36 S.Ct. 50 , 60 L.Ed. 275 , under a similar contract, that there is a real distinction between a conditional sale and an absolute sale with a mortgage back, and that the transaction there was strictly a conditional sale, is not important here, even if the conclusion is inconsistent with Andrews & Co. v. Colorado Sav. Bank, 20 Colo. 313 , 36 P. 902 , 46 Am.St.Rep. 291 , which held a somewhat similar contract in legal effect a chattel mortgage. - This is so because the parties here are in accord that under the law of this state the disposition of this case is to be, and should be, as though the instruments in question are chattel mortgages.” '”
