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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Of course, if the creditors are content with this result (appointment by the. referee upon failure of the majority in amount and the majority in number to agree on a trustee), and without objection permit the referee to appoint, no fault can be found with such appointment; but when, as in the present case, they unanimously ask for' a reasonable postponement in order that they may have an opportunity 1o compose their differences, if that he possible. 1 think they are entitled to the delay. And, in my opinion, tho same consideration should he paid to a similar request by a majority in both number and amount. The creditors have the right to administer what is practically their own property by a proper trustee of their own choosing, and they should have such time as may be reasonable to see if they cannot get together upon so vital a subject.””
