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.

1. ““The manifest purpose of Congress was that the statute should operate, not only upon property the legal title to which is in the alien, but oh all property-held for him, or for his benefit, whether the legal title be in him or in the person who holds it for his benefit. In the present case, the property is held in trust by the complainants solely for the benefit of these three daughters of the testator, and comes within' the very words of the statute, for although they are not the holders of the legal title to the trust estate, they are the equitable owners thereof; the whole beneficial interest being lodged in them.””
