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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An indorser, an accommodation maker, or a surety on the obligation of a bankrupt is a creditor under the act of July 1, 1898, c. 541, 30 Stat. 544 (U. S. Oomp. St. 1901, p. 3418), and a payment on such an obligation by the principal debtor, while insolvent, to the innocent holder of the contract within four months before the filing of the petition for adjudication in bankruptcy, will constitute a preference which will debar the indorser, accommodation maker, or surety from the allowance of any claim in his favor against the estate of the bankrupt, unless the amount so paid is first returned to that estate.””
