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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The desirability and importance of promptly conducting an investigation into the affairs of any person petitioned into the bankruptcy court has been too often shown to be open to doubi. To wait until adjudication to ascertain from the bankrupt’s own lips the situs of his property and ids own explanations of the situation in which the creditors find themselves is in many cases giving to those guilty o'f fraud the necessary time to permit the fraud to be consummated and the fruits thereof secured. In my opinion it is not too much to say that a skillful and vigorous use of early examinations of involuntary bankrupts is the one thing which enables creditors to prevent this statute being easily turned into a shield for dishonesty and a potent aid to fraud.’-’”
