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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The testimony upon which the order is based settles beyond a vestige of doubt that a large quantity of goods had been accumulated in the hands of the bankrupt shortly before his adjudication. It is equally certain that a large part of them were not turned over to the trustee. Such a situation demands a satisfactory explanation from the bankrupt which accounts for their disappearance, and, if nothing of that kind appears, an order by the referee directing that the missing goods be turned over would be a proper order.””
