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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No deed of trust or mortgage conveying a legal or equitable title to real or personal estate shall be valid against a purchaser for a valuable consideration, without notice thereof, or against creditors, until such deeds shall be acknowledged or proven according to law, and lodged for record.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In re Sewell · In re Ducker““The clear and necessary implication from the language * * * is that deeds of trust and mortgages of real and personal estate, though unrecorded, are not void, but valid against purchasers at sale under execution as well as private sale when notice has been given. And, that being the case, it would seem to be the intention that creditors should be likewise though indirectly affected by notice; for their attempt to collect debt by execution would be generally abortive, if notice to those about to purchase could prevent a sale: But, be that as it may, by the uniform ruling of this court for many years, creditors and purchasers have in that respect been placed on the same footing.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In re Watson““If the inquiry whether, hy that section, creditors generally were intended, to be affected by notice of such conveyances and transfers of property to debtors in the same way and to the same extent as purchasers was an original one, there would, looking alone to the language used, be some difficulty in reaching a satisfactory conclusion. But there is no reason whatever that a creditor whose debt has been created prior to the conveyance, as was that of appellee, Crow, and who has not been defrauded or injured, should occupy a better attitude than a purchaser with notice.””
