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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Taken literally, the decree as it now stands in effect operates to divest the wife of the bankrupt ... of her contingent one-third interest in the land which she acquired by operation of law, ownership of which had nothing whatsoever to do with the fraud. The decree could properly operate only to rescind the transfer of whatever title the husband conveyed to his wife. Without relinquishment on her part of her interest, the trustee in bankruptcy, like the purchaser at an execution sale, could acquire only the title and interest which the husband had the legal right to convey.””
