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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(1) The creditor, in order to defeat the conveyance, is bound to show the fraudulent intent. (2) When such intent is shown, the purchaser, in order to sustain the transaction, must show that he has paid value. (3) This being shown, the burden again shifts, and the creditor, in order to prevail in the action, must prove that at the time of payment the purchaser had notice of the fraud.””
