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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘It is settled in this court, in supposed accordance with the doctrine of the federal courts, that the “fiduciary capacity” intended by the Bankrupt Act relates to technical trusts, not merely such as the law implies from the contract, but actual and expressly constituted,’ citing I-Iennequin v. Clows. And, further, that the evidence and the affidavits in the case under consideration ’show no other or different trust or fiduciary relation than such as may he said always to exist in a case of agency. In every such case there is an element of trust and confidence, so that a breach of duty may be said to be a breach of Irtist; but the agent is, nevertheless, not a fiduciary within the moaning of the Bankrupt Act.’ ””
