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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The construction of the word ‘creditors’ in Hill v. Bowman is a narrow one at best, and the language employed wholly overlooks the other terms, employed in the statute, and necessarily excludes them. It is certainly difficult to comprehend why the language ‘other persons’ having lawful suits, damages, or demands, should be disregarded. Similar statutes have been construed in other States, and a consensus of the decisions is given in the text of 8 Am. & Eng. Enc. Law, 750, where it is said: “ ‘A creditor, in this connection, is not necessarily the holder of a debt merely, as that term is generally understood; for one having a legal right to damages capable of judicial enforcement is.a creditor, within the meaning of the statutes and law upon the subject of fraudulent conveyances.’ “The authorities cited — and they are numerous— support the text. “In the present case defendant had a demand for the taking and conversion of property upon which suit had been commenced, and upon which judgment was afterwards obtained, and we think she is clearly within the protection of the statute.””
