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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute authorizes the transcript of a judgment to be filed in the .office of any clerk of the Circuit Court in this state, and from the time of such filing the judgment 'becomes a lien upon the real estate of the judgment debtor in the county in which the transcript is filed (Sections 610 and 611, R. S. 1881). As to a judgment rendered before a justice of the peace, the statute authorizes the issue of an execution, in certain cases, by the clerk of the court where the transcript is filed (Sections 612, 613 and 614, R. S. 1881). But as to other judgments the execution must issue from the court in which they were rendered (2 Works Pr., section 1141; Freeman Ex., sections 10 and 15). The issue by the clerk of the Vigo Circuit 'Court of the execution upon the transcript of the judgment rendered in the Sullivan Circuit Court, was without authority of law. The execution and the sale thereunder were void.””
