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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not questioned by any authority, so far as we know, that the pledgor may always claim at least the period of six years, or the full period of time (luring which the pledgee is permitted to sue upon his secured debt or engagement. In Humphres v. Terrell, 1 Ala. 650 , it was held that the right of both pledgor- and mortgagor to redeem personal property would be barred in six years, and the plea of the statute of limitations of six years in that case war; held good as a bar to the pledgor’s right to redeem, without any positive evidence of an adverse possession.””
