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.

1. ““A bankrupt corporation gave to its employés orders on claimants for goods, and charged the same against the current wages of the men. Claimants filed such orders, and charged the amount to the corporation, which paid the same from time to time, either in cash, or by note or credits on its books. Under the statute [of Tennessee] the employés were entitled to laborers’ liens on the property of the corporation for wages earned within three months prior to the bankruptcy. Held, that no right of subrogation to such liens’ arose in favor of claimants from such transactions, nor to the priority given labor olaims by the bankruptcy act, and that such subrogation would not be accorded them where it appeared that, if it were, the estate would not be sufficient to pay the preferred claims in full.””
