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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Proceedings in bankruptcy are proceedings in court. An attorney at law, admitted to practice in a court, is presumed to have authority to appear and act for any party whom he seeks to represent in that court. The Bankruptcy Law of 1898 provides that a creditor may file objections to and oppose the discharge of a bankrupt, and that the term ‘creditor’ shall include the duly authorized agent, attorney, or próxy of a creditor. An attorney at law, admitted to practice in the court, who enters his appearance for a creditor in opposition to the discharge of a bankrupt, is presumed, under the general law, to be his duly authorized attorney, and is therefore included under the term ‘creditor,’ and is authorized to appear and to oppose the discharge of the bankrupt.””
