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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘“Xhe fiduciary relation referred to in section 17 implies one existing previously to or independently of the particular transaction out of which the debt arises; and where the debt was contracted by the bankrupt under an agreement with the claimant prior to bankruptcy whereby bankrupt was to sell a certain commodity for the claimant and to pay a proportionate amount out of the sale at a given price, and it was further provided that the title to the property should remain in the claimant with all rights of possession until the same should be sufficiently paid for, a failure by the bankrupt to remit the amount due by Mm is not a debt created by the bankrupt while acting in a fiduciary capacity, and is dischargeable.””
