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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The assignee is the representative of all the creditors, including those whose rights were injuriously affected by withholding the mortgage from record. As a representative of such creditors, he had the right to retain possession for their protection. * * * The deed of assignment transferred to the defendant (assignee) the general title of the goods, subject to the plaintiff’s (mortgagee’s) lien, and, in addition to this, a lien on the property as a representative of the special class of creditors, which lien was entitled to precedence over that of the plaintiff (mortgagee).””
