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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . The purchaser at the execution sale and his vendee stand in the position of one having purchased under a foreclosure of a senior mortgage;' the junior mortgagee not having been made a party to the suit. The plaintiffs in this case, being the purchasers under the unforeclosed deed of trust, may redeem from the tax sale; but that sale is not void, and will- not be set aside, for no offer to redeem is made in this suit. ’”
