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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The fund was produced by the sale of all the bankrupt’s personal property, including the clothing manufactured by the claimant, clothing manufactured by other persons, and various other articles; and there is no evidence concerning the price for which the suits in question were sold. The claimant had notice of the sale, which was made by the receiver under an order of court, and was afterwards duly confirmed without objection; and he should have asked the court to direct this clothing to be sold separately, in order that the fund thus produced might be earmarked, and the validity of his claim upon it be considered. The court had no knowledge that he was asserting a lien for the manufacture of these goods, and, as they had passed out of his possession into the custody of the receiver, it was his duty to make seasonable claim to priority of payment. Otherwise, he must be held to have taken the risk that the goods might be sold in such manner that the proceeds might be indistinguishably mingled with the proceeds of the other property of the bankrupt. In re Gerry (D. C) 112 Fed. 957 .””
