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.
““If property formerly in the possession of the bankrupt, is found in the possession of any other person, and such person is, in the opinion of the court, very clearly but a cover or receptacle for that property, which, as between the bankrupt and such other person, is still the property of the bankrupt, or such other person is but the alter ego of the bankrupt, then a summary order to turn over is proper, and no pretended instruments or transfer, no apparatus of conveyances, should prevail.””
