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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That a trustee having the right of an attaching creditor, is not ipso facto a bona fide purchaser for value. That one is such a purchaser and not affected by outstanding equities is an affirmative defense, and must be pleaded and proved. Before an attaching creditor, or one standing in an equal position, can be deemed a purchaser in good faith, he must allege and prove all the facts necessary to establish that character of his ownership.””
