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

1. ““Tint the judgment was recovered before the adjudication in bankruptcy. All the bankrupt's property down to the time of the adjudication is applicable to the payment of that judgment ratably with, the bankrupt’s other debts, but the discharge of the bankrupt, if it shall be granted, is a bar to the enforcement of that judgment against any property subsequently acquired. Under these circumstances, I think that the enforcement of the judgment against any portion of the bankrupt's present salary should be enjoined until the question is determined whether he shall receive a discharge. But as, if the entire salary were paid to the bankrupt, the probability is that the judgment creditor would never collect the tenth to which he is entitled if a discharge is refused, an order will he made directing the bankrupt’s employers to withhold a tenth of the salary until tjiat question is determined. The motion to absolutely vacate the stay, however, is denied.””
