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

1. ““These bankrupts filed with the referee in charge, and about five months afror adjudication, the petition under review. No action by the court was taken thereon, until more than a year aftc-r adjudication, and the objecting creditors 'now contend that the filing with the referee was insufficient to confer jurisdiction and the petition should be dismissed as not having been preferred within the statutory year. It is true that the referee as ‘referee’ has no power to consider the petition. But within this district and by force of District Court Rule ii in bankruptcy the office of the referee is the office of the court.””
