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.

1. ““That the trustee acted within his right in instituting a plenary action for an accounting, instead of restoring to an action at law, seems to be settled by the federal authorities. * * * It will be noted that the language employed in the same sentence includes suits to set aside fraudulent conveyances and suits for the recovery of money paid by the bankrupt to third persons. This would seem to indicate that the Supreme Court regarded the payment of money to a creditor -or third person in violation of the bankruptcy act as in the nature of a fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment, and that a remedy in equity would more readily afford adequate relief. Jones v. Bolles, 9 Wall. 364 [ 19 L. Ed. 734 ].””
