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.
“A transfer of property by á debtor is not in fraud of his creditors unless it is his own property which is transferred. It is not enough that he should convey to its rightful owner property in which he had no more than a bare legal interest. This is true wheré the debtor holds the legal title under a purely oral trust for the benefit of a true owner, and voluntarily conveys it to the true owner in fulfilment of the trust, even where the trust, being purely oral, could not have been enforced against him. 4 Collier on Bankruptcy, § 67.30, at p. 266; Frederick v. Baxter Arms Corp., 107 F.2d 732 (2d Cir.1939); Ferguson v. Winchester Trust Co., 267 Mass. 397 , 166 N.E. 709 , 64 A.L.R. 573 ; Hutchins v. Mead, 220 Mass. 348, 349 , 108 N.E. 67 ; Briggs v. Sanford, 219 Mass. 572 , 107 N.E. 436 .”
